Question 6 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

An example of commerce that would be regulated by the federal government is

Answer
A
a ferry that takes passengers from New York to New Jersey.
B
a bakery that sells homemade bread in Texas.
C
a company that rents paddle boats on a lake in Florida.
D
a bus that takes passengers between two towns in Missouri.

Explanation

Federal regulation applies to interstate commerce—trade or transportation that crosses state boundaries. The ferry travels from New York to New Jersey, so it carries passengers between two states. The bakery, paddle-boat rental, and bus route described operate within a single state, making them examples of intrastate commerce.
