A landmark Supreme Court case challenging the constitutionality of zoning laws was argued in 1915, setting a precedent for future debates over local government authority and property rights. The dispute centered on whether municipal zoning ordinances violated the U.S. Constitution by restricting land use without justification. Legal scholars and historians continue to reference the case as a key moment in the evolution of land-use regulation and individual property rights. The ruling would later shape how cities balance public welfare with private property interests.
