 Lochner v. New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York's regulation of the working hours of bakers was not a justifiable restriction of the right to contract freely under the 14th Amendment's guarantee of liberty.
New York, 198 U.S.) was a controversial case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that a law limiting working hours was unconstitutional because it interfered with a "right to contract" implicit in the due process clause.
Justice Rufus Wheeler Peckham, writing for the majority, vacated Lochner's conviction and struck down the regulation as an unjustified infringement of the right to contract, considered part of the liberty protected by substantive due process under the Fourteenth Amendment.
