for a bill to become a law, what must happen after both houses of congress pass it?
○ the president signs it
○ the supreme court reviews it
○ the president vetoes it
○ the justice of the u.s. supreme court vetoes it

Explanation:

First Question (Constitution Adaptability)

• The Preamble introduces the Constitution’s purposes, not for adaptability.
• The Bill of Rights lists basic rights, not for handling new challenges.
• The Elastic Clause (Necessary and Proper Clause) allows Congress to make laws to address unforeseen issues, enabling the Constitution to adapt.
• Reserved Powers are for states, not for the Constitution’s adaptability to new challenges.

• After both houses of Congress pass a bill, the President signs it to make it a law (or may veto, but signing is the step to enact it).
• The Supreme Court reviews laws for constitutionality, not as a required step right after Congress passes a bill.
• A presidential veto prevents it from becoming law (unless overridden), so vetoing is not the step to make it law.
• Supreme Court Justices do not veto bills; veto power is with the President.

Answer:

C. The Elastic Clause
