About Prince V. Massachusetts
Prince v. Massachusetts, 321 U. S. 158, was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the government has broad authority to regulate the actions and treatment of children. Parental authority is not absolute and can be permissibly restricted if doing so is in the interests of a child's welfare.
