#7 Prince v. Massachusetts

In this episode we re-argue the Supreme Court case Prince v. Massachusetts.Massachusetts  has adopted child labor laws prohibiting children from selling  periodicals on the street, and prohibiting adults from making children  work illegally. SP is a Jehovah’s Witness who would distribute religious  literature on the street. Her children and her niece begged and cried  to join her. SP was confronted by authorities, charged, and ultimately  convicted of violating child labor laws. SP says that the government is  using inapplicable law to interfere with her parental rights, and her  and the child’s religious freedom.The question before the court: do the state laws prohibiting child labor interfere with parental rights and religious freedoms?
