The New York Supreme Court ruled that a slaughterhouse monopoly did not abridge the civil rights of others under the Fourteenth Amendment and could not be challenged as an unlawful restraint on interstate commerce. The decision is a major test of the power of the federal courts to protect the civil rights of all citizens, regardless of whether they are directly affected by an allegedly unconstitutional act or not. It also reflects a continuing commitment of the Court to limit the role of its decisions in interpreting the Constitution and to ensure that Congress retains its own unique constitutional powers.
