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).
