Option "A" is the correct answer to the following statement.

Explanation:

It is a case of "Heart of Atlanta Motel v. the United States ".

Under this case, judgment was influential in the abolition of the Jim Crow regime because it enforced the Civil Rights Act, which enabled Congress to control private enterprises if it impacted commerce.

In this situation, the congress party wants to pass a law that made illegal to having body armor and was challenged in the supreme court but the court makes it lawful under the Commerce Clause.
