If the electric clause, also known as the Commerce Clause, had not been included in the Constitution, several problems would have arisen. First, there would have been no clear authority for the federal government to regulate interstate commerce, leaving each state to govern its own commerce independently. This could have resulted in conflicting regulations, trade barriers, and economic inefficiencies. Additionally, it would have been difficult to address national issues like monopolies, consumer protection, and labor rights, as each state would have had its own rules and regulations. This lack of central oversight could have hindered the growth and development of a unified national economy.
