,Section A - LAW AND Policy Foundations
Q1.
In a recent Supreme Court case, the Court held that an agency's interpretation of an
ambiguous statute is entitled to deference only when Congress delegated authority to the
agency to make rules with the force of law. Which doctrine did this ruling most directly
refine?
A. Chevron deference B. Skidmore deference
C. Auer deference D. The major questions doctrine
Correct: A - Chevron deference
Rationale:The ruling in United States v. Mead Corp. refined Chevron deference by
conditioning it on a congressional delegation of lawmaking authority. Skidmore deference
applies when such delegation is absent, Auer deference concerns an agency's interpretation
of its own regulations, and the major questions doctrine is a separate canon requiring clear
congressional intent for issues of vast economic or political significance.
Q2.

A. The statute's broad language B. The EPA has discretion to decline
unambiguously includes greenhouse gases, regulation because the statute is ambiguous
so the EPA must regulate them if it finds and the agency's interpretation is
endangerment. reasonable.
C. The EPA must regulate greenhouse D. The Court deferred to the EPA's
gases because the Clean Air Act explicitly interpretation under Chevron because
lists carbon dioxide as a pollutant. Congress explicitly delegated authority to
define 'air pollutant'.
Correct: A - The statute's broad language unambiguously includes greenhouse gases, so
the EPA must regulate them if it finds endangerment.
Rationale:In Massachusetts v. EPA, the Court held that greenhouse gases fit within the 'air
pollutant' definition and that the EPA's refusal to regulate was based on policy, not statutory
ambiguity. The Court rejected the EPA's argument that it had discretion to decline regulation,
emphasizing the statute's mandatory language. The EPA was required to make an
endangerment finding based on science.

Q3.
A state legislature enacts a law requiring all public school teachers to lead the Pledge of
Allegiance daily. A teacher refuses, citing the First Amendment. Which standard of review
would a court apply to this law?
A. Rational basis review, because education B. Intermediate scrutiny, because the law
is a traditional state function. burdens expressive conduct in schools.
C. Strict scrutiny, because the law compels D. No review, because teachers are
speech and implicates a fundamental right. government employees and lack First
Amendment rights in the classroom.
Correct: C - Strict scrutiny, because the law compels speech and implicates a fundamental
right.
Rationale:Compelled speech, including the Pledge of Allegiance, violates the First
Amendment unless narrowly tailored to a compelling state interest. The Supreme Court in
West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette applied strict scrutiny and struck down a
similar law. The other standards are inapplicable because the law directly infringes on an
individual's right to refrain from speaking.
Q4.

gender-motivated violence. In United States v. Morrison, the Court struck down the law.
Which constitutional provision did the Court hold could not justify the statute?
A. The Commerce Clause, because the B. Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment,
activity was not economic in nature. because the law regulated private conduct,
not state action.

because the law was not essential to the law was not a spending measure.
executing Congress's enumerated powers.
Correct: B - Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, because the law regulated private
conduct, not state action.
Rationale:In United States v. Morrison, the Court held that Congress lacked authority under
either the Commerce Clause or Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Section 5 only
allows Congress to enforce the Amendment against state action, not to regulate private
individuals. The Commerce Clause was insufficient because the activity was noneconomic
and not substantially related to interstate commerce.
Q5.
An administrative agency's enabling statute grants it authority to 'promulgate regulations
necessary to protect the public from unsafe consumer products.' The agency issues a rule
recalling a product that causes harm only to pets. Which of the following is the strongest
