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.

Missouri v. Dockery No. 180 Argued October 27, 1903 Decided November 16, 1903 191 U.S. 165
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI
Syllabus
The rights of an individual under the Fourteenth Amendment turn on the power of the state. A state does not infringe his rights under that amendment by exempting a corporation from a tax either wholly or in part, whether such exemption results from the plain language of a statute or from the conduct of a state official under it.
The facts appear in the opinion of the court.
