In the Supreme Court case Morgan v. Virginia (1946), the Court ruled that state laws enforcing racial segregation on interstate buses violated the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. The decision overturned a Virginia law that mandated segregated seating on buses, affirming that such regulations impeded interstate commerce. The ruling was significant in challenging segregation and laid the groundwork for further legal challenges to discriminatory practices in the United States.
