1. The Law that enables the federal government to remove from the market any food shown to cause cancer is the
A. Consumer Product Safety Act
B. Right to Health Amendment
C. Strict Liability Rule
D. Delaney Amendment
In my book it was confusing because it stated that the law was called Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. But since that is not a choice I went with C. Because that was right about the FDC Act.
2. The Laws of the U.S. are virtually all based on
A. The Roman Code
B. Administrative Law
C. Common Law
D. Moral Law
I chose C.
I disagree with your first answer. But the second is correct.

Thank you.
1. The correct answer is D. Delaney Amendment. To understand how to arrive at this answer, you need to be familiar with the relevant laws and their scope. Here is an explanation:
a) The Consumer Product Safety Act (A) pertains to the safety of consumer products, not specifically food legislation.
b) The Right to Health Amendment (B) is not a recognized federal law.
c) The Strict Liability Rule (C) is a legal principle that holds manufacturers accountable for injuries caused by their products, but it does not directly address food safety.
d) The Delaney Amendment (D) is part of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). This amendment prohibits the approval of food additives that have been shown to induce cancer in humans or animals.
While it is true that the FD&C Act is the broader legislation encompassing the Delaney Amendment, the question specifically asks for the name of the law that empowers the government to remove cancer-causing food from the market. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
2. The correct answer is C. Common Law. To understand why, let's analyze the other options:
a) The Roman Code (A) refers to the legal system derived from ancient Roman laws, but it is not the basis for laws in the United States.
b) Administrative Law (B) deals with regulations and procedures established by administrative agencies, but it is not the fundamental basis for all U.S. laws.
c) Common Law (C) forms the basis of the legal system in the United States. It is a body of judge-made laws and legal precedents developed over time through court decisions.
d) Moral Law (D) refers to ethical principles and personal values, but it is not the foundation of U.S. laws.
Therefore, the most accurate answer is C, as the Laws of the U.S. are primarily based on Common Law.
