Question

1. which of the following powers does the necessary and proper clause grant congress?

○ reserved
○ concurrent
○ implied
○ expressed

Explanation:

The necessary and proper clause (also known as the elastic clause) in the U.S. Constitution grants Congress implied powers. Implied powers are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are considered necessary and proper to carry out the expressed (enumerated) powers of Congress. Reserved powers are held by the states, concurrent powers are shared by states and the federal government, and expressed powers are explicitly listed in the Constitution. So the necessary and proper clause relates to implied powers.

Answer:

C. implied
