A licensed hot dog vendor who worked at a football field within the state and who had been buying hot dogs made with foreign beef for the past several years estimated that switching to an all-beef hot dog made from United States beef would reduce his profits by 10%.

Answer: A. The statute burdens foreign commerce

Explanation:

The options are:

A. The statute burdens foreign commerce.

B. The statute violates equal protection guarantees because it is not rational to prohibit the sale of foreign beef but not foreign leather.

C. The statute substantially interferes with the vendor's right to earn a living under the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

D. The statute constitutes a taking without due process of law.

From the question, we are informed that a cattle-producing state adopted a statute that requires any food service business operating in the state to serve beef raised in the United States and that a licensed hot dog vendor who worked at a football field within the state and who had been buying hot dogs made with foreign beef for the past several years calculated that switching to an all-beef hot dog made from United States beef would reduce his profits by 10%.

The vendor then hired an attorney to challenge the statute and the attorney discovered during research into the case that most of the footballs used at the football field at which the vendor worked were made of foreign leather.

Based on the above scenario, it should be noted that it is the Congress that has power to regulate foreign commerce. Hence, in this scenario, the state adopting a legislation that requires the private vendors to favor the breed served in the United States over the foreign products is outside its powers scope. Only the congress can make such decision.

Answer: overextension of words

Explanation:

When children are still around the age of three they may confuse the meaning of words. As a result they may use one word for different things which are not even related maybe because in their still developing mind they see some minor similarities.

For example a car and a bus both have wheels and travel on the road these similarities may cause a child to refer to them both as cars.

If there are these minor similarities that they observe between things, they are likely to use one word to name those things that show similarities.

This occurs because children haven't really grasped the use of langauge, definition of words and all its collect grammar.
