If Grower asserts a claim against Wife and Husband for damage to his plants, will Grower prevail? (A) Yes, because Wife and Husband entered on his land without permission.

(D) No, because Grower used excessive force toward Wife and Husband. Questions 106 €“107 are based on the following fact situation. Ben was the illegitimate, unacknowledged child of Fred. Fred died intestate, leaving neither spouse nor any children other than Ben. The state's law of intestate succession provides that an unacknowledged illegitimate child may not inherit his father's property. The spouse, all other blood relations, and the state are preferred as heirs over the unacknowledged illegitimate child. Ben filed suit in an appropriate court alleging that the state statute barring an illegitimate child from sharing in a parent's estate is invalid, and that he should be declared lawful heir to his father's estate. 106. In challenging the validity of the state statute, Ben's strongest argument would be that (A) there is no rational basis for preferring as heirs collateral relatives and even the state over unacknowledged children, and therefore the law violates the equal protection clause. (B) he has been deprived of property without due process because his fundamental right to inherit has been compromised without a compelling state need. (C) it violates the privileges and immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (D) it is a denial of procedural due process because it does not give the unacknowledged illegitimate child an opportunity to prove paternity. 107. The state's strongest defense of the statute would be that (A) the authority of a state over the disposition of decedents' property located in the state is not affected by the Constitution of the United States. (B) a statute prescribing the means of disposing of the property of intestate decedents does not constitute invidious discrimination. (C) inheritance under intestate succession laws is a privilege, not a right, and therefore is not protected as property under the due process clause. (D) its interest in promoting family life and in encouraging the formal acknowledgment of paternity gives the law a rational basis. 108.
