passing the Fourteenth Amendment

Answer 1

- regulating a national minimum wage — Yes. Congress used its Commerce Clause power (upheld in cases like Darby and Wickard) to justify federal wage and labor regulations.
- passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — Yes. The Court upheld several provisions (e.g., public accommodations in Heart of Atlanta) as valid exercises of the Commerce Clause.

The other choices are not correct: out-of-state tuition is primarily a state matter, No Child Left Behind relied on Congress’s spending/conditional-grant power (not directly the Commerce Clause), and the Fourteenth Amendment is a constitutional amendment, not an application of Gibbons.
