All of the following are implied powers of Congress EXCEPT the power to

a. set maximum work hours
b. restrict arms sales
c. fund education programs
d. censor radio and TV programs

I think it's b. restrict arms sales because I think that's for the states. Can someone please help?

It's d. I answered my own question

You're on the right track, but let me guide you through the process of eliminating the options to find the correct answer.

In order to determine which option is the correct answer, we need to understand what implied powers are. Implied powers are powers that are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are reasonably inferred from the ones that are explicitly stated.

So, let's analyze each option:

a. Set maximum work hours: The power to regulate commerce is an implied power of Congress, and setting maximum work hours falls under this category. Therefore, it is an implied power of Congress.

b. Restrict arms sales: This power is not an implied power of Congress since the regulation of arms sales is usually considered within the purview of individual states. Therefore, it is not an implied power of Congress.

c. Fund education programs: The power to tax and spend for the general welfare is an implied power of Congress. Funding education programs can be argued as falling under this category. Therefore, it is an implied power of Congress.

d. Censor radio and TV programs: The power to regulate interstate commerce encompasses the regulation of radio and TV programs. Therefore, it is an implied power of Congress.

By analyzing the options, we can see that the correct answer is indeed b. Restrict arms sales. It is not an implied power of Congress as the regulation of arms sales is typically a state-level responsibility according to the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

I hope this explanation helps clarify why the correct answer is b. Restrict arms sales.
