17 abr 1905 año - Lochner v. New York

Descripción:

Lochner v. New York, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1905, was a landmark case in which the Court struck down a New York law setting maximum working hours for bakers, ruling that it violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s right to contract freely under the Due Process Clause. This decision became a cornerstone of the Lochner era, during which the Court frequently invalidated legislation aimed at regulating labor conditions, reflecting a period of American jurisprudence marked by strong protection of economic rights and limitation of governmental power.
