Supreme Court of Florida
R. A. Gray v. Roland Moss.
July 7, 1934115 Fla. 701
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court reversed the lower court's injunction, holding that a proposed constitutional amendment exempting homestead property from taxation may not be enjoined unless it plainly and inevitably violates the Federal Constitution. The majority concluded that the amendment did not on its face breach the Contracts Clause, so the courts lack authority to block its submission to voters. A dissent argued the amendment violated equal protection and the Fourteenth Amendment.
