Question

Congress passes a law prohibiting cigars made in Cuba from being sold in the United States. The Florida state legislature then passes a law allowing the sale of Cuban cigars in Florida. If the constitutionality of the Florida law is challenged in court, it will most likely be: a. upheld unless Congress expressly prohibits states from enacting laws regarding cigars. b. upheld on the basis of the supremacy clause. c. struck down on the basis of the due process clause. d. struck down on the basis of the supremacy clause.

Answer 1

struck down on the basis of the supremacy clause

Step-by-step explanation:

The constitutionality of the Florida law in this case will be struck down in court on the basis of supremacy clause. The Supremacy clause is a clause found in Article VI of the United States Constitution that made it clear that the constitution, treaties, and laws of the federal government are considered to be the supreme law and judges in every state of the federation are bound to it even though the laws of the state are contrary to the federal law.
