Interstate Commerce

Interstate Commerce – Interstate commerce is the transportation, purchase, and selling of goods and services between different states.  Commercial transactions between states are regulated by the U.S. Congress.  There have been many cases before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the scope and breadth of the Commerce Act.  It has been questioned on race, racketeering, and other issues.  However, in most cases, the Justices of the Supreme Court abided by the decisions of the legislative branch, even if they had differing opinions. If there was a rational reason for any Congress regulated commerce activities, these were supported by the Judges.
