A) Even though there are no federal regulations on the design of inline skates,the Kansas statute would probably be considered a burden on interstate commerce and thus unconstitutional.
B) Because the required modification is a better design,the law would be constitutional.
C) Because the statute does not conflict with a federal statute or regulation,it could not be found to be unconstitutional.
D) If all manufacturers of inline skates stopped selling them in Kansas,there could be no constitutional violation because interstate commerce would not be involved.
