Question

Zippers, Corp., a development company, has constructed a zip-line course on government land after signing a leasing agreement with the state government. A few years after signing the agreement, the state authority sanctioned the Never-ending Tunnel Company to build a long tunnel through the land where the zip-line course already exists. The proprietors of Zippers, Corp. claim that the state authority has violated their existing agreement. Which of the following is most likely to be applied in this case between Zippers, Corp. and the state government?
a. the free exercise clause
b. the contract clause
c. the doctrine of preemption
d. the establishment clause
e. the commerce clause

Answer 1

Answer: The contract law

Explanation:

The free exercise law says that people can practice whatever religion they want and no one should force a religion on someone.

Contracts Clause is in a section in the Constitution whereby the state is prohibited from doing certain things. The aim of the prohibitions is to protect citizens from state governments intrusion.

The preemption doctrine simply means that when there's dispute between two authorities, the law of the authority of law which is lower will be displaced by a higher authority.

Therefore, the correct answer is contract law.
