question

A corporation owns a shopping mall that includes a grocery store. The union that bags fruit wants to strike in front of the store, even though it is in the mall. The mall has a Social Security Office and the real estate is owned by the state. The grocery store pays rent to the state. Any type of picketers are prevented from entering the mall to picket inside by the owners of the mall, who also pay rent to the state for the land, and there is no outside entrance of the store at the mall where the picketers could strike. If the picketers go before the court to claim violations of First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, will state action likely be found against the store and the mall owners?

options

  1. Yes, because the mall and store are infringing on the picketers' right to protest, which is protected by the First Amendment.
  2. No, because the state's only involvement is in the ownership of the land, and it does not influence the day-to-day operations of the mall and store.
  3. Yes, because the equal protection balancing test shows that there is state action in renting the property to private actors who are discriminating.
  4. No, because the mall and store are private entities and have the right to control who can enter their property.
  5. Yes, because First Amendment violations require strict scrutiny, and here the connection between the state and the mall cloaks the mall and store with state action status.
  6. No, because a private actor can never be held liable in a constitutional rights claim that requires state action.
  7. No, under the mantle of authority test there are not enough connections between the state and the private actions of the mall and the store.
  8. Yes, because the mall and store are public spaces, and therefore they must respect the constitutional rights of all individuals.
  9. Yes, because the state owns the land and therefore has direct influence over the actions of the mall and store.
  10. No, because the state has no direct control over the operations of the mall and store, even though it owns the land.
