C. Wasn't part of imminent domain a clause that states that taking ownership of land is only constitutional if declared by the federal government?

Wrong, but good guess.

The Correct Answer is:
b. Parker will prevail, because the 2004 law unconstitutionally impairs his rights under the Contracts Clause.


a. is wrong because a federal court DOES have authority to nullify a state law.

c. is wrong because the law that has been repealed, while it may be unconstitutional, was not deemed so at the time, so Parker DOES own the land under the law that existed at the time.

d. is wrong because it confuses issues. The case is NOT moot, because the land dispute still exists, regardless of whether the 2001 law was probably unconstitutional or repealed.
