Constitutional limits on state liquor laws and federal commerce power
A historical discussion argues that state restrictions on liquor are constrained by Congress's power to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among states. The text emphasizes that a state cannot suspend future property rights or ban imports and sales by its own citizens, since such actions would undercut Congress’s exclusive authority. It cites Brown v. Maryland to explain that importation and sale are integral to commerce and that federal power prevails over incompatible state prohibitions.
