Please respond to the questions regarding this hypothetical case: An eastern state enacted a law prohibiting liquor retailers from advertising in the media. The state reasoned that advertising liquor encouraged drinking which was against public policy. A local liquor store sued the state seeking declaratory relief. The store argued that the law denied their right to due process. The store won at trial. The court found no evidence that the law had a significant effect on liquor consumption. The state appealed and the decision was reversed in their favor. The liquor store then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The liquor store sought “declaratory relief.” What does that mean in the context of this case? What did the store want the court to do?
