Due to budget shortages and a critical need of funding to fight a war, Congress enacted a $25 tax on each person flying into an airport in the five most popular vacation destinations in the country, as determined by Congress. The tax was implemented, and officials in the five destinations were outraged, fearing that the number of vacationers to the taxed destinations would decrease due to the tax. If the tax is challenged in federal court by an official with standing, is the most likely result that the tax will be held constitutional?
A No, because it makes it significantly more difficult for persons to travel between the states.
B No, because the tax unfairly discriminates against certain vacation destinations by taxing them and not taxing other, similar vacation destinations.
C Yes, because the tax is necessary to achieve a compelling government interest.
D Yes, because Congress has plenary power to impose taxes to raise revenue.

C

Explanation:

D

Explanation:

You may notice in modern day that taxes are not the same throughout all states, products, and so on. This gives a hint that B is not correct. A itself does not make sense as travel is more of a privilege than a right. It is not the government's problem if someone cannot afford luxuries. C makes it sound like the government is a dictatorship, "achieve ... government interest." This is obviously not true as several bills are shut down even though it would help achieve government interest. D is true. Congress does have plenary powers over a few select subjects, one being to levy taxes.
