Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

This case undermined economic freedom by essentially gutting the 14th Amendment’s privileges and immunities clause and ruling that it does not protect the right to own and operate a business. While this decision was a setback for economic freedom, Justice Field’s dissent and support of economic freedom set the stage for a period called the “Lochner Era.”
