Parrish was a big freaking deal because it effectively ended the Lochner Era, a period in which the Court, more often than not, struck down economic regulations and restrictions on businesses in the name of protecting contracts. President Roosevelt was certainly happy about the decision. In fact, 15 months later he’d sign the Fair Labor Standards Act.
