Washington, 14 U.S. Code 336. Q

Answer 1

b. International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945)

Step-by-step explanation:

The above case ruled that a company especially companies involved in interstate commerce may fall under the jurisdiction of a state court if they satisfy "minimum contacts" with the state.

Minimum contacts is used to describe the criteria for taking personal jurisdiction of a defendant from another state by a state court.

The ruling was held by the US Supreme Court to determine the grounds on which a non-resident corporation would be liable to unemployment tax as in contested by international shoe Co, and therefore fall under personal jurisdiction in a state as in the Washington state
