Lochner v. New York
The right to make a contract concerning the business is part of an individual’s liberty protected in the fourteenth amendment. Thus the right to contract is at the liberty of the individual.
Also, according to the constitution, the state is at liberty to legitimately regulate some labor contracts
by use of police powers. The catch is that the regulation is on “unhealthy” trade, such as the mining
industry. However, the baking industry is safe, and thus the government has no powers to regulate
contracts, which leaves all the terms of the agreements under the two people signing the contract.
roe v. wade
the majority claimed that some amendments in the constitution imply the right to privacy.
For instance, the liberty guarantees in the fourteenth amendment is an implied right to privacy.
The word privacy misses in the guarantees; it is implied.
Thus pregnant women had the right to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy. Also, letting the pregnancy go into full term will cause stress, financial strain, and psychological problems in the long run on the woman, denying her the right to privacy, which is guaranteed.
