Document Summary
Heart of atlanta motel argued that congress has no authority to regulate interstate commerce. The argument was that the activity of the motel was purely intrastate (or within georgia) with no interstate ramifications, such that congress did have authority over that activity. Right to travel was implicated in the provisions of the civil rights act. The right to travel was considered vitally important for interstate commerce, thus congress had the authority under the commerce clause. That is, purely intrastate conduct can be regulated if it has a significant impacted on interstate commerce. Federal school safety act: threw case out as unconstitutional because had nothing to do with interstate commerce. Second part of the commerce clause acts as restriction on states authority to regulate. States (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t unduly interfere with (or burden) interstate commerce. Georgia contoured rear mudguard regulation (where scotus found the state statute/ regulation unconstitutional)
