    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Constitutional Law regulates interstate and intrastate commerce. This statement is true because the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution grants the federal government the power to regulate commerce among the states and with foreign nations. This includes both interstate commerce (commerce between states) and intrastate commerce (commerce within a single state). The Supreme Court has interpreted this clause broadly, allowing the federal government to regulate various aspects of commerce, such as trade, transportation, and business activities that have an impact on interstate commerce. Therefore, Constitutional Law does indeed regulate both interstate and intrastate commerce.

    Explanation
    Case law is typically decided in the judicial branches of the government. This is because the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting and applying the law in specific cases. Judges and courts have the authority to make legal decisions and establish precedents that become part of the case law. Legislative bodies, executive bodies, and town boards do not have the same jurisdiction or authority to decide case law. Therefore, the correct answer is judicial branches of the government.
