Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a History question and need guidance to help me study.

Answer questions, 1 paragraph for each question

1. What does the Commerce Clause state and where is located in the Constitution?
2. What two laws was Lopez charged with violating a law, and what happened to those charges? Make sure to explain each law.
3. Why did Lopez challenge his conviction?
4. How did the Supreme Court rule? Do you agree with their ruling?
5. Dissenting, Justice Breyer argued, “Education, although far more than a matter of economics, has long been inextricably intertwined with the Nation’s economy…. guns in the hands of six percent of inner-city high school students and gun-related violence throughout a city’s schools must threaten the trade and commerce that those schools support.” Is this a strong argument that the law is constitutional under the Commerce Clause? Why or why not?
6. What are the consequences of a strict interpretation of the term “commerce” when deciding the constitutionality of federal laws? What are the consequences of a liberal interpretation?

7. Are there limits to the power of the Commerce clause and thus the regulatory power of Congress? And if so, how does this affect you?
