Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The concept of color of law is a requirement for any successful Section 1983 claim. One of the requirements for a successful Section 1983 lawsuit is that the defendant, the person being sued, acted under color of law. The Supreme Court has stated that someone acts under color of law when he or she acts in an official capacity (Lugar v. Edmondson Oil Co., 457 U.S. 922 1982).
