Question

In general, which of the following is least likely to unconstitutionally burden interstate commerce?

1. A state law requiring that all state vehicles burn gasoline produced and refined within the state.

2. A state law imposing tougher purity standards on food imported from out of state than from food produced in-state.

3. A state law requiring in-state liquor distillers to post the prices at which they will sell in-state, and not to exceed those prices when they sell in other states.

4. A state tax on gasoline that makes it more expensive for trucking companies to route their trucks through the state.

Answer 1

4

As we are finding out now, more burdens on the trucking industry equate to higher costs on everything for us.  Such a tax would increase the tax burden on the tax payers.

Answer 2

1) You can't tell people when or where they can buy goods. There's really no way besides keeping tabs on receipts that they could prove some one is or isn't burning gas from within the state.
