In the case of Crane v. Johnson, Governor of the State of California et al., 1916, a group led by Mr. Crane filed suit against Hiram W. Johnson, then governor of California and other state officials for allegedly violating their rights under the Fourteenth Amendment to equal protection under law and due process. The plaintiffs were non-resident aliens who owned property in California but lived outside the United States; they claimed that a tax imposed on them was discriminatory because it was higher than what residents or citizens paid for similar properties. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Governor Johnson and his co-defendants stating that states have broad powers to regulate taxation within their borders as long as there is no clear violation or discrimination against any particular class protected by federal laws or constitutionally guaranteed rights. The court found no such violation here since non-resident aliens are not considered a protected class under U.S law nor do they enjoy all constitutional protections afforded to citizens or resident aliens. Therefore, differentiating between resident/citizen property owners and non-residents/non-citizens when imposing taxes does not violate equal protection clause.
