Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Constitution does not prohibit states from having environmental laws that are more strict than federal laws, but states cannot violate the Constitution. Federal environmental laws can only override state laws if they are constitutional, and state laws can be more strict than federal laws as long as they do not violate the Constitution. In fact, the Constitution does not specifically address environmental laws, so it is up to federal and state governments to create and enforce them within the bounds of the Constitution.
