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.
