==Facts== The case was developed because in 1871, the legislature of [[Illinois]] responded to pressure from the [[National Grange]], an association of farmers, by [[price control|setting maximum rates]] that private companies could charge for the storage and transport of agricultural products. The [[Chicago]] grain warehouse firm of Munn and Scott was found guilty of violating the law but appealed the conviction on the grounds that the law was an unconstitutional deprivation of property without due process of law that violated the [[Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourteenth Amendment]]. A state trial court and the Illinois State Supreme Court both ruled in favor of the State.<ref>{{cite web|title=Munn v.
