The Slaughterhouse cases of 1873 were brought by local butchers when the state of Louisiana granted a license to the Crescent Slaughterhouse Company that created a monopoly. The butchers sighted this action as a violation of their rights as outlined in the fourteenth amendment of the constitution by depriving them of the right to run slaughterhouses. They challenged the state was depriving them of the right to earn a living. The Supreme Court, however, ruled the Louisiana Action was constitutional since they could still earn a living just by remaining on Crescent City grounds.
The Supreme Court uses the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses to selectively incorporate individual clauses in the Bill of Rights to the states in order to make federal legislation and US Supreme Court decisions enforceable against and within the states. Without the Fourteenth Amendment, Supreme Court decisions would not be enforceable against any body except the federal government. For more information, see Related Questions, below.
