jan 19, 1905 - Lochner v. New York

Description:

This court case showcased how corporations abused their workers- the judges interpreted the 14th Amendment as it protecting workers' freedom from government regulation, which gave them free rein for exploitation. Corporations being supported by the federal government despite abusing its workers is a continuation in US history, especially during the First Industrial Revolution, since the government lacked enough restrictions for corporations and enjoyed their contribution to the economy.
