Samuel Freeman Miller was an American lawyer and physician who served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1862 until his death in 1890 and who authored landmark opinions in United States v. Kagama, which upheld the constitutionality of the Major Crimes Act of 1885, and The Slaughterhouse Cases, which ruled that the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment only protects the legal rights associated with federal, not state, citizenship.
