Question 1

Lake City enacts an ordinance that bans the distribution of all printed materials on city streets. Mackensie opposes the city's latest "revenue-enhancing" measure and wants to protest by distributing handbills. In her suit against Lake City, a court would likely hold the ban on printed materials to be​

Accepted Answer

The ban on printed materials on city streets is a restriction on freedom of speech and therefore falls under the protection of the First Amendment. A court would likely hold the ban unconstitutional under the First Amendment.

Question 2

Sustainable Crops Corporation regularly expresses opinions on political issues, including whether to ban the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Under the First Amendment, corporate political speech is​

Accepted Answer

Corporate political speech is protected under the First Amendment, which provides constitutional protection for free speech, including the speech of corporations. This protection extends to opinions on political issues, such as the use of GMOs. While there may be restrictions on certain kinds of political speech, such as political advertising, the general principle is that corporations have the right to express their opinions on political matters.

Question 3

The Constitution sets forth specific powers that can be exercised by the national government and provides that the national government has the implied power to undertake actions necessary to carry its expressly designated powers. All other powers are expressly reserved to​

Accepted Answer

The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution explicitly states that any powers not delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or to the people. Therefore, all other powers, aside from the specific designated powers given to the national government, are reserved to the states.

Question 4

Taco Hot Dogs, Inc., regularly advertises its products. Under the First Amendment, in comparison with noncommercial speech, the protection given these ads is​

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Question 6

The United Energy Resources Association would like a certain law enacted, administered, interpreted, and enforced in the best interest of its members, which include fossil fuel companies. Under the Constitution, Congress​

Accepted Answer

Under the Constitution, only Congress has the power to enact (create) laws. Therefore, the United Energy Resources Association would need to lobby Congress to pass the law they want enacted. Congress also has the power to override a presidential veto of legislation, which is another reason why lobbying Congress would be the most effective way for the association to achieve their goal. The other options (administering, enforcing, and interpreting laws) are typically the roles of the executive branch and the judiciary branch, respectively.

Question 7

Question 10

There are no precedents on which the court deciding the case Standard Resource Co. v. Topline Inventory, Inc., can base its decision. The court can consider, among other things,​

Accepted Answer

Since there are no precedents to refer to in this case, the court may consider external factors like public policy or social values to reach a decision. These factors can help guide the court in making a decision that is fair and just for all parties involved. The opinions of friends and relatives of the judge or the results of a poll in the courtroom are not relevant or reliable sources for making a legal decision.

Question 11

As a judge, Baxter applies common law rules. These rules develop from​

Accepted Answer

Common law rules derive from the decisions of courts in legal disputes. These rules are based on legal precedents, which means that judges consider previous court decisions when making their own rulings. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The other options, such as regulations by administrative agencies, statutes enacted by Congress and state legislatures, and uniform laws drafted by legal scholars are not directly related to the development of common law rules.

Question 12

Charles is a federal judge whose judicial decisions are part of case law, which does not include interpretations of​

Accepted Answer

Case law is created through judicial decisions on legal issues within specific cases. This includes interpretation of statutes, constitutional provisions, and regulations created by administrative agencies. However, case law does not typically include the subjective motives of parties for engaging in litigation.

Question 13

A Metro City ordinance imposes a jail term, without a trial, on all vendors who operate in certain areas. A court would likely review this ordinance under the principles of​

Accepted Answer

The ordinance violates due process, as it imposes a punishment without allowing for a trial.

Accepted Answer

Question 17

Distinguishing between legal and equitable remedies is

Accepted Answer

The distinction is important because legal remedies typically involve monetary compensation, while equitable remedies involve actions like injunctions or specific performance, and the appropriate remedy depends on the nature of the harm.

Question 18

Lyndon, a citizen of Maryland, obtains a federal license to operate a commercial fishing boat in a certain area off the Maryland coast. The Maryland state legislature enacts a law that bans all commercial fishing in that area. The state law most likely violates​

Accepted Answer

The supremacy clause establishes that federal law takes precedence over state laws. Since Lyndon has a federal license, the state law banning commercial fishing in that area would likely be preempted by federal law.

Question 19

A statute enacted by the Nebraska state legislature to regulate trucking affects interstate commerce. In evaluating this statute, the courts will balance the burden that it imposes on interstate commerce against​

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

An ordinance that limits the operation of recreational boating outfits in certain areas of the harbor allows only a few selected outfits to operate, which may violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Equal Protection Clause requires that similarly situated individuals or entities be treated equally by the law. Any discriminatory action that treats a particular group unfavorably is scrutinized under this principle. Therefore, a court would likely review this ordinance under the principles of equal protection.
