In a film produced by the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s Leonore Annenberg Institute for Civics, Professor Kermit Roosevelt, member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty, discusses a section of the U.S. Constitution known as the Commerce Clause, which gives Congress regulatory power over commercial activity among states and foreign nations. The clause plays a critical role in defining the relationship between state and federal authority.  

The Daily Pennsylvanian interviewed Professor Roosevelt about the film (here).

Kermit Roosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at Penn Carey Law. He is also a member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty. Read his bio here.
