Challenging the Antiquities Act

Challenging the Antiquities Act

Scott Miller describes the history and significance of the Supreme Court’s decision in Cameron v. United States that the President has the authority under the Antiquities Act of 1906 to protect federal lands through the creation of national monuments. The titular Ralph H. Cameron was a prospector and promoter who objected to limits being imposed on his business interests by President Roosevelt’s action declaring the Grand Canyon–as well as other sites–National Monuments. The Supreme Court dismissed his objections, establishing the act as a cornerstone of conservation efforts and allowing future presidents to also protect lands from commercial use.
