General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Detroit v. Parker, 181 U.S. 399 (1901)
Detroit v. Parker No. 411 Argued February 26, 1901 Decided April 29, 1901 181 U.S. 399
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
Syllabus
Cass Farm Co. v. Detroit, ante,396, followed in holding that it was not the intention of the Fourteenth Amendment to subvert the systems of the states pertaining to general and special taxation; that that amendment legitimately operates to extend to the citizens and residents of the states the same protection against arbitrary state legislation affecting life, liberty and property as is afforded by the Fifth Amendment against similar legislation by Congress, and federal courts ought not to interfere when what is complained of is the enforcement of the settled laws of the state, applicable to all persons in like circumstances and conditions, but only when there is some abuse of law, amounting to confiscation of property, or deprivation of personal rights, as was instanced in the case of Norwood v. Baker, 172 U.S. 269.
The case is stated in the opinion of the Court.
