Commerce clause

Okay kiddo, let me explain the commerce clause to you. So, the government in our country has a bunch of rules that they use to run things. One of the rules is called the commerce clause.

Now, the commerce clause is basically a part of the rules that says the government has the power to control things that involve buying and selling stuff between states. This means that the government can make rules about how things are made, shipped, and sold across state lines.

For example, let's say a company in Florida wants to sell oranges to a store in California. Because the oranges are crossing state lines, the government has the power to make rules about how the oranges are grown, how they are packed, and how they are transported.

Now, some people might argue that the government uses the commerce clause to make too many rules and regulations. But others think it's important for the government to have this power so they can make sure things are safe and fair for everybody involved in the buying and selling process.

So, that's the commerce clause in a nutshell. It's like a tool that the government uses to make sure things that are bought and sold between states are safe and fair for everyone involved.
