Respondent was a local student at a local school there is no indication that he had recently moved in interstate commerce and there is no requirement that his possession of a firearm have any concrete tie to interstate commerce." - from United States V.Lopez (1994), the Majority Opinion written by Chief Justice William Rehnquist In the Supreme Court case referenced here, the Court ruled that the government does not have the power to regulate guns near schools under the commerce clause. What government concept is at play in this case? A Federalism B Enumerated Rights C Checks and Balances D D Separation of Powers

Answer 1

The government concept at play in this case is:A FederalismFederalism refers to the division of power between the national and state governments. In United States v. Lopez, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government overstepped its authority under the Commerce Clause by attempting to regulate gun possession in local school zones, which is a matter more appropriately handled by state or local governments. This decision reflects the principles of federalism by emphasizing the limits of federal power and the importance of state sovereignty.
