The Story of Wickard v. Filburn: Agriculture, Aggregation, and CommerceJames Ming ChenUniversity of Louisville - Louis D. Brandeis School of Law September 15, 2008 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW STORIES, Michael C. Dorf, ed., 2d ed., Foundation Press, 2008 University of Louisville School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper Series No. 2008-40 Abstract: This article tells the story of Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942). After providing a survey of American agriculture and its regulation between the World Wars, this article describes the constitutional landmark that began as a controversy over Roscoe Filburn's 1941 wheat crop. Wickard v. Filburn represents a pivotal moment in the Supreme Court's effort to define Congress's power [t]o regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes. Greater turmoil over commerce clause jurisprudence has breathed new life into Wickard v. Filburn.
