All these government were authoritarian and except for North Korea, all have since collapsed.

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.
One major characteristic that distinguishes a state from all other lesser political units in the world is state Sovereignty.
<h3>What is state sovereignty</h3>
State sovereignty is the most important element of the state which describes its self-sufficiency in a specified territory.
This means that the state is at liberty to create laws and govern its citizens without interference from other bigger political structure while maintaining compliance with laws that affect the generality of the nation.
Being a legal entity, states are able to enter into international relations with other states or countries.
