2. Demonstrate to me that you understand what this sentence means:

It did so in reliance upon Minnesota case law that expressly declared that the state "has never recognized, either by legislative or court action, a cause of action for invasion of privacy...."

If you need help with this, consider these questions:

"It did so," what does this mean? What is the "it" and what is the "so" in this sentence?

What is "Minnesota case law" and what does it mean that it was relied upon?

What does it mean to "expressly declare," and how else might something be declared?

"The state has never recognized" - what is "the state" and what does "recognize" mean? How might "the state" "recognize" something? In other words, if you wanted to argue that the state has recognized something in this context, what evidence would you point to?

What is "legislative action?"

What is "court action?"

What is a "cause of action?"
