Wickard V Filburn Concerned the Ability of Congress to Impose Controls

Multiple Choice

Wickard v. Filburn concerned the ability of Congress to impose controls on wheat growing, including a small farm that produced a small amount of wheat for use on the farm. The Supreme Court held that the controls were:

A) constitutional; while one farmer made no difference, all small farmers together could impact the wheat market
B) unconstitutional since such a small amount was "insufficient commerce," but the regulations could be written to apply to all active sellers in the wheat market
C) unconstitutional since all of the wheat was sold or used within the state
D) unconstitutional since none of the wheat was sold; all wheat was used on the farm
E) constitutional only to wheat actually sold in interstate commerce
