Good Morning!

The Munn v. Illinois was a legal dispute involving state limits for grain storage. Although farmers have fought against this law, the Supreme Court has ruled that its interference in private property is constitutional. Soon, the farmers lost and had to respect the stock limits.

Hugs!
