Hughes v. Oklahoma | 441 U.S. 322 (1979)
A fundamental principle of our constitutional system of federalism is that the fifty states are separate sovereigns within the larger sovereignty of the United States of America. States thus retain some amount freedom to enact their own laws regulating economic matters within their borders. But just how much freedom? May states regulate their internal affairs in a manner that discriminates against interstate commerce and favors intrastate commerce? The United States Supreme Court addressed this issue in Hughes versus Oklahoma.
William Hughes, a Texas resident, ran a commercial minnow business in Wichita Falls, Texas, which is located near the Oklahoma border. Hughes bought minnows from an Oklahoma minnow business that obtained its minnows from the natural waters of the state. An Oklahoma game ranger arrested Hughes, who was charged with violating an Oklahoma law that prohibited the interstate commercial transportation of minnows caught within waters of the state. Hughes challenged the state statute as violating the Interstate Commerce Clause of Article One of the United States Constitution. The trial court overruled the objection and convicted Hughes, who was sentenced to pay a fine. On appeal, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Hughes’s conviction.
Hughes appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
