Answer:
D. is invalid because although on its face it's an intrastate law, this statute will have a significant economic effect on interstate commerce causing an undue burden
Explanation:
States can create laws that improve residents' lives by providing more security, education or infrastructure. Even if states have the autonomy to create their laws, some of them could not be sanctioned because they are the responsibility of the federal government and not the state. An example of this is the law made by the state of Kansas shown in the above question that, although it was created for a good reason (which was to promote road safety), it refers to an intrastate law that creates a significant burden on commerce between the state of Kansas and another state. This type of law can only be created by the federal government (specifically, the federal congress) to be valid.
The answer is D. socially responsible.
The purpose is to elect political candidates or to advance the outcome of a political issue. They raise and spend money to elect or defeat candidates.
Answer: A. Ways a person can become a US citizen.
Further detail:
- Anyone born within the borders of the United States is considered a US citizen by birth. This is even true if the parents of the child born in the US are not citizens. Being born on US soil is a way a child is considered a US citizen. This has become a matter of some contention in recent years, as some opponents of illegal immigration accuse immigrants of coming across the border to have a baby just so that baby can have US citizenship.
- If either of a set of parents are US citizens, a child born to those parents is also a US citizen, even if you were born in a foreign country. So if parents are stationed overseas or traveling, and a birth occurs outside the United States, that child still has US citizenship.
- For those not citizens by being born on US soil or to a US citizen parent, applying to become a naturalized citizen is the path for pursuing citizenship. On the USA.gov website, you can find a full desciption of "How to Apply for US Citizenship" and the naturalization process.
