Legal Question in Business Law in United States

Sue owns a plant nursery business in New Jersey and arranged to have paw paw trees imported into the state. The importation of fruit trees violated a New Jersey statute. Sue was indicted under a federal statute that makes it a federal crime to transport nursery stock in interstate commerce in violation of a state law. Sue made a motion in court to dismiss the indictment on the ground that the New Jersey law unconstitutionally burdened interstate commerce.

1. What legal arguments would New Jersey make in defense of its law?

2. What will the court decide? Why?
