This is one of the most important, and most-often litigated, clauses in the [[U.S. Constitution]]. It is the single most important source of power for [[Congress]], and has been bused by it to pass laws governing business, civil rights, [[abortion]] and other social areas. Only beginning in 1995, in ''[[Lopez v. United States]]'', did the [[Rehnquist Court]] begin to limit the scope of what [[Congress]] might do based on this clause.
