Is it A? Ms. Sue
No.
So it is B I get it.
Right.
Thank you.
The implied power expressed by the necessary and proper clause in the Constitution is that Congress can make any law that it deems appropriate (option d). The necessary and proper clause, also known as the elastic clause, is found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the United States Constitution. It states that Congress has the power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying out its enumerated powers.
To understand this, it is important to know that the Constitution provides specific powers to Congress in Article I, Section 8. However, these enumerated powers are not exhaustive and do not cover every aspect of governance. The necessary and proper clause allows Congress to pass laws that may not be explicitly listed in the Constitution but are considered necessary and proper to effectively execute its enumerated powers.
The key term here is "necessary and proper." This means that Congress can pass laws that are not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, as long as those laws are reasonably related to the implementation of the enumerated powers. However, the necessary and proper clause does have limits. The laws passed under this clause cannot go beyond the scope of what is necessary and proper to carry out the enumerated powers.
In summary, the necessary and proper clause grants Congress the implied power to make any law it deems appropriate, as long as it is reasonably related to carrying out its enumerated powers. So, the correct option is d) Congress can make any law that it deems appropriate.
