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.

Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Co. v. Harrison No. 355 Argued February 2, 1937 Decided May 24, 1937 301 U.S. 459
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA
Syllabus
A statutory discrimination between the mutual companies and the stock companies which write fire, casualty, etc., insurance in the State, forbidding stock companies to act through agents who are their salaried employees but permitting this to mutual companies, is repugnant to the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. P. 463.
Georgia Ls., 1935, Act of Mar. 28, 1935, § 1, held unconstitutional. The discrimination has no reasonable relation to the difference between the two classes of companies. It is arbitrary.
183 Ga. 1, 187 S.E. 648, reversed.
Appeal from a judgment which reversed a decision of a trial court directing that a writ of mandamus issue requiring the above-named Insurance Commissioner to license one of the appellants as general agent of the other, the Insurance Company.
