Allgeyer v. Louisiana 165 U.S. 578 (1897) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which a unanimous court struck down a Louisiana statute on grounds that it violated an individual’s liberty to contract. This was the first case in which the Supreme Court interpreted the word liberty in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to mean economic liberty.
