A quick definition of affects doctrine:

The affects doctrine is a rule in constitutional law that allows Congress to regulate activities within a state that have a big impact on trade between states. This rule is called the affects doctrine because it tests whether an activity "affects" trade between states. It is also known as the effects doctrine or, incorrectly, the affectation doctrine.

A more thorough explanation:

The affects doctrine is a principle in constitutional law that allows Congress to regulate activities within a state that have a significant impact on interstate commerce. This principle is based on the idea that even intrastate activities can affect the economy of the entire country.

For example, if a company in one state is producing a product that is sold in many other states, Congress can regulate that company's activities to ensure that the product is safe and meets certain standards. Similarly, if a state is allowing pollution that affects the air or water quality in neighboring states, Congress can regulate that state's activities to protect the health and well-being of people in other states.

The affects doctrine is important because it allows Congress to address issues that affect the entire country, even if those issues originate in a single state. By regulating activities that have a significant impact on interstate commerce, Congress can ensure that the economy and the environment are protected for everyone.
