Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When evaluating a state statute that affects interstate commerce, the courts will balance the burden that it imposes on interstate commerce against the state's interest in regulating the matter. This is known as the "balancing test." The purpose of interstate commerce may be relevant to the analysis, but it is not the primary factor. The courts' authority to determine that a law is unconstitutional and the statute's impact on noneconomic activity may also be considered, but they are not the central factors in the balancing test.
