What is the supremacy clause? - Answer -If the constitution gives a power to the federal
governement, the federal government also has the authority to prohibit the states from excersing a similar problem.
What is express preemption? - Answer -1. Supremacy Clause found in the Constitution makes federal law the "supreme law of the land."
2. Congress can engage in express preemption by specifying in the legislation that the states have no power to adopt similar laws.
Does Congress exercise the law of preemption? - Answer -Generally no; when passing a law, Congress often provides expressly that states retain the power to adopt similar or
related laws so long as those laws do not conflict with or hinder the objectives of the federal law
What two conditions must be met to prove implied preemption? - Answer -Two conditions must be met to prove implied preemption: First it must be shown that the federal regulation is relatively comprehensive; In other words, the court must be convinced that Congress attempted to impose a fairly complete regulatory structure on this type of activity. Second, it must be shown that there is a very strong need for a uniform national regulatory policy in this area, so that individual state laws of this type are likely to interfere with the objectives of the federal regulatory effort
What is direct conflict? - Answer -A narrower form of implied preemption; if it is impossible to comply with both the state and federal laws or if the state law substantially
interferes with the purpose of the federal law
What constitutes discrimination against interstate commerce? - Answer -Involves a question of intent. States may not shelter their own industries from competition emanating from other states or nations, though congress can. They may act to preserve

When is a state unduly burdening interstate commerce? - Answer -No intent necessary, only impact.
