A.2. Material Interstate Legislation

Congress shall have the authority to legislate on matters that materially and necessarily concern coordination or relations among two or more States, but only when such legislation is essential to resolve a demonstrable jurisdictional conflict, ensure the uniform application of Civil or Natural Rights across State boundaries, or provide a framework for lawful intergovernmental cooperation.

This authority shall not extend to matters that States can resolve independently, nor to those that merely affect multiple States without requiring federal involvement.
