Supreme Court Ruling Analysis of National Federation of Independent Business
v. Sebelius
In this analysis, the ruling on National Federation of Independent Businesses v.
Sebelius is being majored on for the intended scrutiny.
In this ruling, the law that was being challenged was based on the Affordable Care
Act argument based on the constitutionality of the legislation having been signed by the
President by then Barack Obama.
The case above included various key partners including; the federal government,
Florida, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice,
Arizona, Indiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana,
Texas, Utah, Washington, Ohio, Wisconsin, Lowa, Wyoming, Michigan, Nebraska,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Georgia, Alaska, Kansas, and Maine.
The petitioner in the above case was the National Federation of Independent
Businesses. The plaintiff contended that the laws on individual health insurance mandated
surpassed Congress’s power to control interstate commerce clause Article I and yet did not
fall within congress’ authority to tax. Furthermore, the plaintiff contended that the Medicaid
expansion contravened the Tenth Amendment by forcing states to adhere to federal rules. The
respondent, in this case, was the Sebelius.
Article I of the constitution featured majorly in this discussion as it establishes the
legislative branch of the federal government. The article section was discussed to help in
justifying the provisions of the commerce clause under Article I.
