IV. Addressing the opposition A. Argument 1 The Plaintiff has argued that this regulation is in best interest for the public and provides security for the society as a whole.

The Constitution of the Unites States had many problems that had to be fixed by adding amendments. Once an amendment is ratified by the majority it trumps what the Constitution originally stated is the law. The Twelfth Amendment was added to the flawed Constitution, so voting for President and Vice President was separate. The goal was to fix situations like the 1796 and 1800 elections.

Since immigrants were trying to get in the republican party, Federalists made harder and tighter restrictions for us immigrants and all the critics also. The Naturalization Act was also passed in 1798 which increased residency on requirement of American citizens.
Since the early 19th century case of Gibbons v. Ogden, Congress’ ability to regulate commerce under the Commerce Clause has rapidly expanded. What began as the power to control trade between two states soon extended to transportation, production of goods shipped between states, and eventually to activity with a substantial influence on commerce. In the latter half of the 20th century, the Supreme Court finally began to restrict the extent of the Commerce Clause with the cases of U.S. v. Lopez, U.S. v. Morrison, and later NFIB v. Sebelius. After the trend of lessening the power of the Commerce Clause, Congress does not have a Constitutional basis to enact the Beat the Flu Act. While some may equate the case to Wickard v. Fillburn in an argument
In 1798 America believed that it was going to fight a war against France due to increased hostilities between the two nations. Meanwhile, America was also divided into two political groups, the Jeffersonian Republicans, and the Federalists.

These acts were not only dishonestly introduced but also violated Americans’

In 2010, Arizona S.B. 1070 was an anti-illegal immigration law that was passed to focus on identifying, prosecuting, and deporting undocumented immigrants.
