is it B
b is correct for question one. Wikipedia has a good explanation of the case. I believe D is correct for question two, but I'll have to look it up. You can do that yourself. Try to google "habeas corpus" We know of habeas corpus being suspended by a president only once, very controversially. Have you studied that?
To determine the correct answers, we need to look at the cases and the constitutional provisions involved.
1. The case that gives Congress the most authority under the Commerce Clause is B. Wickard v. Filburn. This case established a broad interpretation of the Commerce Clause, allowing Congress to regulate even indirect or minimal economic activity that could potentially impact interstate commerce.
To find the answer, you can research the Commerce Clause, which is found in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. You can then study the landmark cases that have interpreted and shaped the commerce power of Congress, including U.S. v. Lopez, Wickard v. Filburn, and U.S. v. Morrison. By examining the reasoning and decisions of these cases, you can determine which one grants Congress the most authority under the Commerce Clause.
2. The authority to suspend habeas corpus lies with A. Congress. According to the United States Constitution, specifically in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2, it states that "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." This clause gives Congress the power to suspend habeas corpus in exceptional circumstances.
To verify this answer, you can refer directly to Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2 of the Constitution. Additionally, you can research historical instances where habeas corpus was suspended, such as during the American Civil War and the September 11 attacks, and review the actions taken by Congress in these situations.
