Question

what statement about the necessary and proper clause is accurate?
○ it is the source of implied powers.
○ it is written so as not to be open to debate.
○ it specifically refers to both financial and military powers.
○ it specifically reserves powers to other branches.

Explanation:

The Necessary and Proper Clause (also known as the Elastic Clause) in the U.S. Constitution is the source of implied powers for Congress. It allows Congress to make laws that are necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers. The other options are incorrect: it is open to interpretation (so not written to avoid debate), it doesn't specifically refer only to financial and military powers, and it doesn't reserve powers to other branches (reserved powers are for states or people, and other branches have their own enumerated powers).

Answer:

A. It is the source of implied powers.
