Commerce Clause
In this video, you should consider the following:
- Congress may regulate any activity if there is a rational basis supporting the congressional belief that the activity affects interstate commerce, provided the means selected are reasonably adapted to the end sought to be achieved.
- Congress may not regulate purely local matters if they do not affect interstate commerce.
