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.

CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ARIZONA
Syllabus
The widow and child of a bus driver applied for compensation under the Arizona Workmen’s Compensation Act for his accidental death while driving an interstate bus in Arizona. He was a resident of California, and was covered by the California Workmen’s Compensation Act. The bus line operated exclusively in interstate commerce, and was not insured in Arizona.
Held: the Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution did not preclude Arizona from awarding compensation, even if the effect were to force the bus line to obtain insurance against liabilities arising in Arizona. Pp. 528-531.
79 Ariz. 220, 286 P.2d 214, reversed and remanded.
