In recent years, Federal narcotics agents have been assigned to work in local communities. What interpretation of the Constitution allowed this shift in federal activity?
What will be an ideal response?
By 1970, as demonstrated in the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, a new legal approach to federal policy had been established—interstate commerce. It was not necessary to rely on the federal taxing authority, as had been the case in the enactment of the Harrison Act, nor was it necessary to demonstrate interstate traffic. Federal authority over interstate commerce had been established. Therefore, federal agents could be used in local communities, without violating the 10th amendment restriction against federal police power.
