Read this passage:in 2014, the city of denton, texas, passed a local initiative that prohibited "fracking" - the practice of breaking up rocks underground to release natural gas - out of concern over its environmental effects. in response, the texas state legislature passed a bill in 2015 declaring that only the state government could regulate the oil and gas industry in any major way. why was the state legislature's action allowed by the u. s. constitution?
