In the 1976 Anti-Inflation Reference, did it ultimately matter that the federal government justified the law through the national concern rather than the emergency branch of POGG? O a. Yes, the Supreme Court declared the law invalid because inflation was not deemed to meet the criteria for the national concern doctrine. O b. Yes, the Supreme Court majority hinted that the law could have been justified under the emergency branch of POGG, but ultimately rejected the law because the federal government defended it through the national concern branch. c. No, the Supreme Court ruled that the law could have been adequately justified using any of the four branches of POGG. d. No, the Supreme Court majority upheld the law through the emergency branch of POGG even though the federal government hadn't explicitly used the existence of an emergency to justify the legislation.
