Question $22(1$ point$)$

Which statement is not true regarding the case of Terri Shiavo refusing treatment?

The Florida governor and legislature attempted, but failed, to insert a legislated government preference into the issue of an individual's right to refuse treatment.

The Florida State Supreme Court upholding a lower court decision, based its ruling not so much on the aspirations of the disputed parties, but on the law maintaining the integrity of a constitutional system with three independent and co$-$equal branches, none encroaching on the powers of another branch.

Then President George Bush and the U$.$S$.$ Congress had the final legal say on the outcome of this controversy by overriding both the constitutional provision of an individual's right to privacy and a state's rights as described in the Tenth Amendment.

The U$.$S$.$ Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Florida's governor thus upholding the lower court and Florida's State Supreme Court that Terri Shiavo through her husband could refuse treatment even if it resulted in her death.
