"Ableman v. Booth", 62 U.S. 506 (1859), is a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that state courts cannot issue rulings that contradict the decisions of federal courts.

For example, it is illegal for state officials to interfere with the work of U.S. Marshals acting under federal laws.

The Ableman decision emphasized the American dual form of government and the independence of state and federal courts from one another.
