Question 2: correct answer is A
To confirm your answers, let's go through each question and examine the options:
1. Which of the following is TRUE regarding the Supreme Court’s modern rulings on regulation of interstate commerce?
a. The Court allows federal regulation of almost anything related to interstate commerce.
b. The Court permits only state regulation of most interstate commerce.
c. The Court has excluded every type of service provider from federal regulation.
d. The Court allows limited federal regulation of interstate commerce.
e. No regulation of interstate commerce is permitted by the state or federal governments.
To determine the correct answer, we can analyze the options one by one.
Option a states that the Court allows federal regulation of almost anything related to interstate commerce. This is an accurate statement and aligns with the Supreme Court's broad interpretation of the Commerce Clause. Therefore, your answer of A is correct.
Moving on to the next question:
2. In McCulloch v. Maryland, ______.
a. The Constitution’s “necessary and proper” clause permits Congress to take actions when it is essential to a power that Congress has.
b. The Constitution’s commerce clause gives the national government exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce.
c. Congress may not act to subject nonconsenting states to lawsuits in state courts.
d. The states may not regulate interstate commerce.
e. The national government’s authority to require state officials to administer or enforce a federal regulation is limited.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the facts of the McCulloch v. Maryland case. This case focused on the constitutionality of establishing a national bank and whether the state of Maryland had the power to tax it. Option d, which states that the states may not regulate interstate commerce, does not accurately represent the ruling in this case. The correct answer is a, as the Supreme Court held that the Constitution's "necessary and proper" clause permitted Congress to take actions when it is essential to a power that Congress already has. Therefore, your answer of D is incorrect.
Moving on to the next question:
3. In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), the Supreme Court ruled that ______.
a. States could form banks and tax them.
b. The national government could charter banks and the states could not tax those banks.
c. The national government’s power was dependent on the states.
d. Congress erred when it created a national banking system.
e. States could not charter banks.
To determine the correct answer, we can again analyze the facts of the McCulloch v. Maryland case. The case revolved around the national government's authority to charter a bank and whether states had the power to tax it. The correct answer is b, as the Supreme Court ruled that the national government could charter banks, and the states could not tax those banks. Therefore, your answer of B is correct.
Moving on to the last question:
4. Direct democracy is impractical because ______.
A. One must be elected to be involved in politics full time.
B. Elected officials do not have enough information or policy expertise.
C. The opinion of a single person is not relevant to democracy.
D. People often make decisions based on fleeting passions.
E. Public policy is not a democratic institution.
To determine the correct answer, we need to assess the reasons why direct democracy is considered impractical. Among the options presented, D stands out as the most accurate explanation. Direct democracy is considered impractical because people often make decisions based on fleeting passions, which can lead to inconsistent and unpredictable policy outcomes. Therefore, your answer of D is correct.
In summary:
1. Your answer of A is correct.
2. Your answer of D is incorrect. The correct answer is A.
3. Your answer of B is correct.
4. Your answer of D is correct.
I hope this analysis helps confirm your answers, and please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!
