QUESTION 44

The Michigan legislature has become concerned with the level of inappropriate material to which children in the state are exposed, and seeks to limit such exposure. As part of this plan, the legislature passes a law prohibiting the appearance of inappropriate material (including: silhouettes of nude women, graphical depictions of Calvin urinating on the Ford Motor Company logo, etc.) on all motor vehicles driven within the state. A group that represents hundreds of commercial truckers nationwide sues to block enforcement of this law. If a court strikes down the law, the most likely reason is:

The burden the law places on interstate commerce is not outweighed by the benefit the law gives to the State of Michigan

Given the prolific amount of inappropriate material on television, the Internet, etc. that is accessible to children, Michigan's law will not significantly meet its goal of protecting children

Michigan is not permitted to regulate motor vehicles, as motor vehicles may only be regulated by the federal Secretary of Transportation

Balancing the interests of truckers in having truck designs of their liking against the interest of Michigan in protecting its youth from inappropriate material, the truckers' interest prevails
