- Decided
- 1977-01-01
Summary
Question: Did the formation of this group violate the the Compact Clause of Article I? Conclusion: The Court found no constitutional violation. The Compact did not enhance state political power at the expense of the United States; it not confer to states powers which they did not already possess; it did not involve any delegation of state power to the Commission. Furthermore, argued Justice Powell, each state was free to withdraw from the group at any time.
