The Drug Control Act is a federal law that seeks to control those substances that are dangerous to the health of the population in general. The statute provides substantial penalties for violations of the Act. The Food and Drug Administration has conducted a substantial number of tests on a new drug called Gelutan. The results of the studies show that the drug might have dangerous side effects when taken regularly, and the Food and Drug Administration now seeks to prohibit its distribution under the Drug Control Act. Drugco, a major pharmaceutical company that desires to market Gelutan, sues to have the statute declared unconstitutional. The most likely result in this suit is that the statute will be declared to be:
A. Constitutional, as a proper exercise of the general welfare power.
B. Constitutional, as a proper exercise of Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce.
C. Unconstitutional, because it interferes with the right of privacy of Gelutan users.
D. Unconstitutional, because it deprives Drugco of property without just compensation.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
