The basis on which Nevada had the authority to <u>override a federal law</u> is <u>Option A</u>. ... widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law.

<h3>Can a state override a federal law?</h3>

The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution is Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution.

The Supremacy Clause means that the federal constitution and laws take precedence over state laws and constitutions.

<h3>Answer Options:</h3>

A. Nevada doesn’t have the authority to override federal law. Federal law stands supreme. Yet, the force of widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law. We also saw this effect during Prohibition in the 1920s – which showed that even constitutional law has limits if a substantial part of the population does not support that law.

B. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has the statutory authority to allow exceptions to federal drug laws.

C. States have precedence over federal authorities on matters of recreational drug use.

D. The executive authority of the governor of Nevada makes such laws exceptions to federal prohibitions. By virtue of signing the legislation making marijuana legal, Governor Brian Sandoval’s executive authority gave pot’s legal possession precedence over federal law.

Thus, the basis on which Nevada had the authority to <u>override a federal law</u> is <u>Option A</u>. ... widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law.

How can the economic choices that governments make affect you?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Economic itself deals with money, if there is some kind of new economic law it will affect us consumers because if we refer to the factors of production table, we can see that the producers rely on business firms and business firms rely on consumers for money. Furthermore looking into the current situation, most consumers are jobless leading the government to support them, and which leads to economic growth going further down( no money is coming in, it's just getting out) so this money is not replaced there for a country won't be able to sustain itself affecting us, consumers directly
