Read the excerpt below.

The United States Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that it was constitutional for Texas police to arrest and jail a driver for not wearing a seat belt.

In Maryland, state law prevents public arrests for traffic crimes unless other circumstances exist, such as drunk driving, failure to produce identifi cation, or attempting to leave a crime scene.

Which of these actions could the federal government take to influence Maryland to repeal the law described in the excerpt?

  1. rejection of the Maryland Governor’s appointments of state officials
  2. withholding of transportation funds from Maryland
  3. replacement of the Maryland state police chief
  4. reduction of Maryland congressional representation
