United States v. Morrison | 529 U.S. 598 (2000)
In modern history, it’s been rare for the United States Supreme Court to rule that Congress overstepped its authority under the Commerce Clause. United States versus Morrison was one of those rare cases.

In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act. The act included a provision that allowed victims of gender-motivated violence to sue the perpetrators of the violence for money damages in federal court. Congress created the damages provision because the avenues for relief in state court were too limited for victims of gender-motivated violence.
