Instructions: Give a full answer. Consider the facts, including what is given and what
can be presumed from the facts. Then apply the rules to the facts. Submit your answer
as an attached file. Please review the rubric (under the rubric section) before completing
any assignment or short paper. Remember to include in-text citations and a reference

Tiffany opens up a restaurant that is located away from highways, does not advertise,
and virtually all of the restaurant’s customers are people from the neighborhood.
Tiffany’s restaurant does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
(a federal statute) because the doors leading into and out of the restaurant are not big
enough to fit a wheelchair through. Tiffany knows her doors do not comply with the
ADA but it would cost her in excess of $50,000 to fix the problem. Furthermore, she
does not believe her restaurant impacts interstate commerce. Therefore, she does not
believe she falls under the ADA. However, Tiffany’s restaurant does comply with all
State regulations.
Could the federal government use the Commerce Clause from Article I, of the U.S.
Constitution, to apply the ADA to Tiffany’s restaurant and force her to widen her doors
or be subject to fines and/or jail? Why or why not?
Could any other branch of the federal government (Executive or Judicial) use any of
their powers to attempt to regulate Tiffany’s restaurant?

EXAMPLE
Assignment: A limiting statute requires that a hotel post the necessary notice in the
registration area, in the hotel lobby, and in the Guest rooms. If a hotel posts the notice in
the registration area and in Guest rooms but fails to post in the lobby, will the hotel be
entitled to limited liability? Why or why not?
Answer:
In this example, the hotel would not be entitled to limited liability. It would forfeit its
ability to be protected by the limited liability statute, and be held fully accountable under
absolute liability as imposed by common law. Failure to follow the law precisely will
result in full liability. Because the hotel failed to post the sign in the lobby (as required
by the limited liability statute), the hotel would be fully liable for any valuables stolen. It
is not adequate to post in two of the three locations required by law, it is only adequate
when you post in all off the locations, and place them in a conspicuous place where
guests can easily read them. It is also necessary to post the warnings in foreign
languages if it is reasonable to suspect that someone who speaks another language may
use the premise. They would also have to be sure that they state the amount of liability
they have in all three places.
