PRINCE V. MASSACHUSETTS
321 U.S. 158 (1944)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over religious and family freedom.
FACTS: Prince (P) was convicted of violating Massachusetts child labor laws by having her
niece and two sons participate with her in 'selling' copies of 'Watch Tower' and
'Consolation' as they were ordained ministers in the church of Jehovah's Witnesses. P
believed it was her god given obligation to perform this work and the failure to do so would
bring about condemnation to everlasting destruction at Armageddon. This testimony was
excluded at trial and P was found guilty and appealed.
