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.

Board of Education of the Kentucky Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church v. Illinois No, 103 Argued November 14, 1906 Decided December 24, 1906 203 U.S. 553
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
The fact that, as construed by the highest court of that state, the exemptions in the inheritance tax law of Illinois of religious and educational institutions do not apply to corporations of other states does not render the provisions of the law applicable to foreign religious and educational institutions void as discriminatory and counter to the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
It is not an unreasonable or arbitrary classification for a state to exempt from inheritance taxes only such property bequeathed for charity or educational purposes as shall be bestowed within its borders or exercised by persons or corporations under its control,
The facts are stated in the opinion.
