Exploring the limits of state power over private property and railroad charters.
This volume presents Justice Field’s dissenting views on the Chicago elevator and Granger cases, arguing that legislative fiat should not arbitrarily fix compensation for use of property or services.
The text contrasts police power with private property rights and shows how, in the framework of the Constitution, the state’s regulation of uses and fees can go too far when it subjects property to shifting political will. It frames the key disagreement over whether public welfare can justify broad control, or if contracts and private interests must be protected from legislative overreach. The discussion draws on historical authorities and common-law principles to illuminate the balance between public regulation and private rights.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between states and corporations following the implementation of the Fourteenth and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. The author argues that the 14th Amendment was not intended to limit the power of states to regulate businesses that affect the public. The 5th Amendment, however, does place limits on state power to take property for public use. These cases are significant because their judicial decisions have essentially destroyed all the guarantees provided by both the Constitution and common law.
