Document Summary
The grant of federal authority and the limitations on the states ability to limit interstate commerce. The state regulation and federal regulation at issue. That supreme federal takes precedent over what states do. If the state law was challenged, federal law would win. Preemption: a doctrine that goes along with supremacy clause - occasionally the federal government has regulated so strictly in a field that they have preemptive the field, making it impossible for states to pass laws in that area. Avoiding state tort cases (negligence) because they are following federal law. Following federal law will protect them from state issues. Procedural due process: the process for which we are tried. Whenever our rights are being evaluated or compromised, that process should be fair. The laws themselves should be fair - substantive due process. Extended to the states (applicable to the states) by the passage of the 14th amendment.
