AP US Government
Unit 1 – Foundations of American Democracy
Topic 1.8
What might have been an outcome if the Supreme Court had ruled differently in United States v. Lopez (1995), upholding Congress's power within the Commerce Clause?
It would limit the scope of Congress's power under the Commerce Clause further.
It wouldn't impact any change to the federal or state laws concerning commerce regulation.
It could have potentially expanded federal powers over areas traditionally controlled by state governments.
The decision would not affect future interpretations of Congressional power under the Commerce Clause at all.
