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.
City of Boston v. Anderson, 439 U.S. 1389 (1978)
City of Boston v. Anderson No. A-355 (78-649) Decided October 20, 1978 439 U.S. 1389
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
Application to stay, pending disposition of an appeal, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s judgment enjoining applicant city and city officials from expending funds in support of a referendum proposal on the November, 1978, state general election ballot changing the state real property tax system, is granted. It appears that the balance of equities favors granting the application and that at least four Members of this Court would vote to grant plenary review of the question whether the Massachusetts statute barring municipalities from expending funds to influence elections is constitutional.
