On a challenge to its constitutionality, the court will likely hold:
A. Unconstitutional, because it lacks a rational purpose, and, therefore, is violative of the 14th Amend.
B. Constitutional, because the state could reasonably believe that young females need more protection than males under the circumstances.
C. Unconstitutional, because the law treats males and females differently, and thus violates the equal protection clause of the 14th.
D. Constitutional, because under the 21st Amendment, a state has authority to regulate the use and sale of intoxicating liquors.

C would be correct except that the constitution doesn't prohibit treating males and females "differently" per se. But the law probably would be unconstitutional on equal protection grounds. |

It is not necessary that the person actually commit the crime, nor is it necessary that the person solicited be willing or able to commit the crime (such as if the "solicitee" were an undercover police officer).

dood's pointing gun & pulling trigger = enough to assume that intended to kill the guy. if the facts were as he believed (gun was loaded) he would have been succeeded in the crime. if drew didn't think the gun was loaded the facts would say that. he gets attempt without a question
darlene = solicitation only requires inciting someone to commit a crime with the intent that they do commit it, and it's not a defense that the offense solicited couldn't have been successful. the hitch is that by giving him an unloaded gun you could argue she lacked the intent for the crime to actually be committed. the counter to that would be that she might have thought that he would check the gun first and put bullets in it. since the bar doesn't usually want you to read facts like that in, i would go with she's not guilty of solicitation since she specifically asked the dude to kill the guy knowing that it wasn't possible and thus didn't actually have the requisite intent that he commit a felony.
another argument would be that she was actually soliciting him to do an assault and that this was a success, but again, they would have facts pointing to an assault being completed (dude was scared or w/e)
you know what, nevermind, this Q is flame whether it's an NCBE question or not |
