Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:

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.
