Prudential Ins. Co. v. Benjamin | 328 U.S. 408 (1946)

Can Congress authorize states to enact regulations or taxes that might otherwise be unconstitutional? The United States Supreme Court considered that question in Prudential Insurance Company versus Benjamin.

South Carolina taxed foreign insurers doing business within the state, but it didn’t impose the same tax on in-state insurers. Prudential, a New Jersey insurer selling insurance in the state, sued South Carolina Insurance Commissioner George Benjamin in an original proceeding in the South Carolina Supreme Court, alleging that the tax unconstitutionally discriminated against interstate commerce. The state supreme court upheld the tax, and Prudential appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
