Do you capitalize commerce clause in a sentence?

You generally capitalize "Commerce Clause" when referring to the specific clause in the U.S. Constitution.

Here's why:

* It's a proper noun: The "Commerce Clause" is a unique and specific part of the Constitution, like the "First Amendment" or the "Bill of Rights." Proper nouns are capitalized.

* It's a legal term: The Commerce Clause has specific legal implications and is commonly used in legal discussions and documents.

Example:

"The Commerce Clause of the Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce."

However, if you're referring to the concept of commerce in general, you wouldn't capitalize it.

Example:

"The rise of electronic commerce has transformed the global economy."
