To determine the correct answers to these questions, let's break them down and explain how to find the answers:
1. Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution: This section deals with various provisions related to members of Congress. To identify the correct answer, you can review the text of the Constitution and specifically look for the relevant clause. You can find the Constitution on various official government websites, such as the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) or the National Archives. By reading Article I, Section 6, you will see that the clause is commonly referred to as:
A. The Due Process Clause, and not B. the Interstate Commerce Clause. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
2. The case that invalidated an earlier effort by Congress to enact a federal income tax: To answer this question, you need to identify the court case that specifically dealt with the issue of a federal income tax being deemed unconstitutional. You can use legal databases or reliable sources to search for the relevant case. Based on the options given:
A. South Dakota v. Dole: This case dealt with conditional spending by the federal government on state initiatives, not federal income tax.
B. U.S. v. Lopez: This case involved the constitutionality of the Gun-Free School Zones Act, not federal income tax.

D. McCulloch v. Maryland: This case, decided in 1819, established the supremacy of the federal government over state governments, but it did not pertain to federal income tax.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
By following these explanations, you can confidently determine that the correct answers are A. the Due Process Clause for the first question and C. Pollock v. Farmers Loan & Trust for the second question.
