Which statement or phrase in the passage is a position held by opponents of corporate farming? of
State Question 777 was placed on the ballot by the Oklahoma legislature. It was designed to require courts to rule on any law that regulated
farming and agriculture by employing "strict scrutiny." Had the measure passed, courts would have been required to overturn any challenged
agriculture or livestock regulations that are not necessary for protecting a "compelling state interest." This new law would have made any
existing law that restricted or regulated the farming Industry In the state more vulnerable to lawsults. In other words, State Question 777
was
designed to require the courts to apply the same standards to lawsults that concerned agriculture and livestock as it did In cases that concerned
free speech, gun ownership, and religious freedom. Some argue that State Question 777 would be used to prevent state and local governments
from passing laws to protect small farmers and provide reasonable regulations.
