Fletcher v. Peck, 10 U.S. 87 (1810), was a lanmark United States Supreme Court decision. It was the first case in which the Supreme Court ruled a state law unconstitutional. The case grew out of the 1795 Georgia state legislature's sale of land in the Yazoo River country (in what is now Mississippi) to private speculators in return for bribes. Voters rejected most of the incumbents in the next election and the next legislature, reacting to the public outcry, repealed the law and voided transactions made under it.
