''Braunfeld v. Brown'', 366 U.S. 599 (1961), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court. In a 6-3 decision, the Court held that a Pennsylvania law forbidding the sale of various retail products on Sunday was not an unconstitutional interference with religion as described in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. ==Prior history== Plaintiffs sought to have a 1959 Pennsylvania statute, 18 Purdon's Pa. Stat. Ann. 4699.10 (1960 Cum. Supp.) overturned as unconstitutional. A three judge panel rejected their petition. (See ''Abraham Braunfeld v. Thomas J. Gibbons and Victor H. Blanc'', 184 F. Supp. 352 (E.D.Pa 1959)). The Court also based its opinion in part on two earlier rulings. * In ''Two Guys from Harrison-Allentown, Inc., v. McGinley'', 366 U.S. 582 (1961), the Court had previously ruled that the same Pennsylvania statute was not unconstitutional, either as (i) a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution or (ii) an impermissible establishment of religion under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Therefore, the only remaining issue in ''Braunfeld'' was whether the Pennsylvania statute was an unconstitutional interference in the appellant's religion. * In ''McGowan v. Maryland'', 366 U.S. 420 (1961), the Court had previously held that a similar Maryland statute was constitutional. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Braunfeld v.
