all 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 oprograms
c.
Please check your text. But I don't think Congress has the power to censor any speech -- whether in a newspaper, pamphlet, radio, TV or on a park soap box.
The correct answer is c. Fund education programs. This is not an implied power of Congress. The Constitution does not explicitly grant Congress the power to fund education programs, although it does grant Congress the power to promote the general welfare. The power to set maximum work hours (a), restrict arms sales (b), and censor radio and TV programs (d) are all examples of implied powers of Congress.
To determine which option is the correct answer, let's analyze each option and evaluate if it falls under the implied powers of Congress.
a. Set maximum work hours: This power is related to labor legislation and falls within the scope of Congress's power to regulate commerce and pass laws concerning labor.
b. Restrict arms sales: This power falls under Congress's authority to regulate commerce, including the regulation of firearms and arms sales.
c. Fund education programs: This power is within Congress's implied powers. Congress has the authority to allocate funds and spend money for the general welfare of the nation, which can include education programs.
d. Censor radio and TV programs: This power is not an implied power of Congress. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects freedom of speech and the press, and the power to censor radio and TV programs would violate these constitutional rights.
Based on this analysis, the power that is not an implied power of Congress is option d - censor radio and TV programs. This power would be unconstitutional and in violation of the First Amendment.
