In the case of Crane v. People of the State of New York, 1915, the U.S Supreme Court ruled in favor of The People Of The State Of New York. This case revolved around a dispute over property rights and taxation. Mr. Crane owned land that was being used for public purposes by the city under an agreement with him but he still had to pay taxes on it as private property because he retained ownership title despite its public use status. He argued this was unconstitutional as it violated his due process rights under Fourteenth Amendment since he wasn't receiving any income from this land while being taxed on it. However, the court disagreed stating that even though there were restrictions placed upon how his land could be used due to its designation for public use, these did not change or diminish his legal title or possession which remained absolute and unqualified; hence taxable by state law regardless if income is derived from such property or not.

In the dissenting opinion for Crane v. People of the State of New York, Justice Holmes disagreed with the majority's decision to uphold a law that prohibited women from working in restaurants at night. He argued that such a law was an unconstitutional infringement on personal liberty and freedom of contract under the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. According to him, there was no sufficient justification for this gender-based discrimination as it did not serve any real health or safety purpose. Instead, he believed it unfairly restricted women’s economic opportunities based on outdated stereotypes about their supposed need for protection. Furthermore, he pointed out inconsistencies in how these protective laws were applied since they didn't cover all occupations where women might work at night nor did they apply to men who could be equally vulnerable to potential dangers associated with nighttime work.
