A. The Commerce Clause

Explicar

The question is asking for the constitutional clause that is common in both United States v. Lopez (1995) and National Labor Relations Board v. Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation (1937). The constitutional clause in question is the Commerce Clause, which is found in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. This clause gives Congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, among the several states, and with the Indian tribes. In both cases, the Supreme Court was interpreting the extent of Congress's power under this clause. In United States v. Lopez, the Court held that Congress had exceeded its authority under the Commerce Clause by passing a law that criminalized the possession of firearms in school zones. In National Labor Relations Board v. Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation, the Court held that Congress had the power to regulate labor relations under the Commerce Clause because such relations had a direct effect on interstate commerce.
