the expressed powers of congress are

a. implied in the constitution
b. those that it assumes in times of crisis
c. stated directly in the constitution
d. given to it by the supreme court

a or b, im thinking b

"expressed" = stated

Let's look at the word "expressed." That means that their powers are specifically spelled out in the Constitution. With that information, please rethink your answer, since neither a nor b is correct.

The correct answer is c. The expressed powers of Congress are those directly stated in the Constitution. These powers are specifically granted to Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. This section outlines the powers of Congress, including the power to tax, coin money, regulate commerce, declare war, and establish post offices, among others. It is important to note that these powers are not implied or assumed, but explicitly written in the Constitution. Therefore, option c is the correct answer.
