Waite, Morrison (Remick)

Waite, Morrison (Remick)
(29 nov. 1816, Lyme, Conn., EE.UU.–23 mar. 1888, Washington, D.C.).

Jurista estadounidense. Hijo de un magistrado de la Corte Suprema de Connecticut, ejerció su profesión de abogado en Toledo, Ohio; en su caso más notable, entabló la cuestión del Alabama. En 1874 fue designado presidente de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos de América por el pdte. Ulysses S. Grant; se desempeñó en la Corte hasta su muerte. En U.S. v. Cruikshank, Waite sostuvo que, a pesar de su lenguaje aparentemente simple, la XV enmienda de la constitución de EE.UU. no había conferido el derecho a sufragio federal a los afroamericanos, debido a que "el derecho a sufragio proviene de los estados. En su dictamen más famoso, Munn v. Illinois (1877), defendió la legislación que fijaba tasas máximas aplicables por los elevadores de granos y los ferrocarriles, declarando que una empresa o propiedad privada "afectada a un interés público estaba sujeta a la reglamentación gubernamental.
