Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A plaintiff brings a lawsuit against Congress, seeking judicial intervention to declare a statute unconstitutional due to Congress allegedly failing to adhere to its internal procedural rules during the statute’s passage. The defendant argues that the issue is not suitable for judicial determination. Under the doctrine of justiciability, which is the strongest reason the court should dismiss the case?

  • The Eleventh Amendment extends sovereign immunity to Congress in cases concerning its legislative decisions.

  • The issue involves a political question, which courts avoid due to the matter being textually committed to Congress or lacking judicially manageable standards.

  • The dispute is moot because the alleged procedural violation occurred in the past and cannot be undone.

  • The plaintiff lacks standing, as they cannot show a personal and concrete injury caused by the statute's passage.
