Question

If Congress passed a law today that made it illegal for a convicted felon to own or possess body armor that had been "transported, shipped, or received in interstate or foreign commerce," and it was challenged, the Supreme Court likely would: a. find it constitutional under the Commerce Clause. b. find it unconstitutional because it is too broad. c. find that Congress exceeded its Commerce powers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option "A" is the correct answer to the following statement.

Explanation:

It is a case of "Heart of Atlanta Motel v. the United States ".

Under this case, judgment was influential in the abolition of the Jim Crow regime because it enforced the Civil Rights Act, which enabled Congress to control private enterprises if it impacted commerce.

In this situation, the congress party wants to pass a law that made illegal to having body armor and was challenged in the supreme court but the court makes it lawful under the Commerce Clause.
