The correct answer is C) the federal government could not force a state governor to return a fugitive.
Until 1987, in cases of extradition, the federal government could not force a state governor to return a fugitive.
For extradition, we understand the faculty that the government of the United States has to surrender a fugitive to other country or state because it has to face criminal charges.
With the Supreme Case of "Kentucky vs. Dennison" in 1860, the federal court did not have the authority to demand the return of a fugitive to another state. This changed in 1987 with the resolution of the case "Puerto Rico v. Brandstand," that overruled the "Kentucky vs. Dennison" case.
