To assert a constitutional claim in federal court, the claim must NOT be ______________.
  1. Ripe.
  2. Moot.
  3. Asserted by a U.S. citizen.
  4. Optional.
Explanation
Answer: B - Moot. A claim cannot be asserted in federal court if the legal question does not have or no longer has any practical significance or is or has become hypothetical or academic. For example, if a plaintiff asserts a claim for violation of her free speech rights, but dies in an unrelated auto accident before the case is decided, the case has become moot.
