Question

There is no reason to answer this if someone above u said the same thing

Answer 1

Its next to education and retirement,

That is - Its not there.

The argument used is, of course, "regulate inter-state commerce"

Answer 2

One of the primary impetuses for the first Consitutional Convention was the need for a coherent system for regulating interstate and international trade, rather than the hodgepodge of systems each of the colonies had come up with. If any trade crosses state and national boundaries, surely the drug trade qualifies. Article I, sections 8-10, spells out this power.

Answer 3

The US Constitution gives the fereral government only one right, the right of choice given in the 12th amendment.

Powers are given to the federal government within the constitution, with the one exception above.

Answer 4

Section 8 of Article 1 - the commerce clause.

Answer 5

Somewhere close to where the authority to set speed limits is posted.

Please!! If the constitution got down to all these levels it would be nine volumes the size of the NYC phone book.

Answer 6

According to the supreme court, (Gonzales v. Raich), this power comes from the interstate commerce clause.

Answer 7

Inside of it.
