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.

St. John v. New York No. 210 Argued March 14, 1906 Decided April 16, 1906 201 U.S. 633
ERROR TO THE SUREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
A state may classify persons and objects for the purpose of legislation, provided the classification is based on proper and justifiable distinctions, and so held that c. 338 of the laws of New York of 1893, prohibiting the sale of adulterated milk, is not in conflict with the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because in certain respects it provides different prohibitions and penalties as to producing and nonproducing vendors of milk.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
