Grains and Bakers have engaged in previous business sales transactions and always commit their verbal agreements to signed written contracts via email. On September 3, Grains and Bakers completed a written contract to reflect their agreement for the sale and shipment of grains. 2. Assume that beginning in the summer, 2016, there is an oversupply of grain that is driving prices down. Consequently, on September 1, 2016, US Congress enacted a law, popularly called the Limited Grain Act, that temporarily bans the production and sale of all grains in the US, and provides for payment of a subsidy to farmers for not growing grains. Grains and Bakers were unaware of this ban when they signed the September 3 contract for the sale of grains. Analyze and discuss the (1) the constitutionality of the Limited Grain Act explaining the legal basis for the law and why it is constitutional or unconstitutional, and (2) the validity of the September 3 sales contract between Grains and Bakers explaining the conclusions and rationale in detail.
