Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that VAWA allowed women to file civil suits against their attackers in federal courts.
2, Explain that Congress claimed that the interstate commerce clause created the power for it to pass such legislation.
3, Explain that the Supreme Court ruled that the component of the law guaranteeing victims greater power to seek redress in federal court was unconstitutional (United States v. Morrison, 2000).

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Define unfunded mandates.
2, Note that Congress often imposes significant obligations on the states without providing any money enabling the states to comply.
