Case Name: <\/strong>A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States
\nCitation: <\/strong>295 U.S. 495 (1935)<\/p>\n

Issue: <\/strong>Whether Congress can regulate as regarding the slaughtering and selling by defendants which was solely in New York.<\/p>\n

Facts<\/strong>: Schechter is a chicken slaughterhouse in New York. Almost all the poultry coming to New York is sent from other states. Schechter was convicted on eighteen counts for violating the “Live Poultry Code.”<\/p>\n

This Code required sellers to sell only entire coops or half-coops of chickens and made it illegal for buyers to reject individual chickens as well as regulated employment (collective bargaining, prohibiting child labor, 40-hour work week, and minimum wage). Came out of the National Industrial Recovery Act.<\/p>\n

Holding<\/strong>: Congress cannot regulate this because Schechter’s activities only occur in New York and only has an in-direct impact on interstate commerce.<\/p>\n

Reasoning: <\/strong>The interstate commerce ended once the defendants purchased the chickens and took them to their slaughterhouse. The flow in interstate commerce (or “stream of commerce”) had ceased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
