In Article I, the United States Constitution says, “No State shall…coin money.” Instead, the Constitution grants authority to coin money to the national government.
This means that coining money is an example of what kind of power?
Reserved
Shared
Delegated
Concurrent
What do you think?
I was thinking reserved... but maybe delegated.
One of those is correct.

What do those words mean? Delegated? Look it up in a dictionary if you need to.
The power to coin money is an example of a power that is delegated to the national government.
To arrive at this answer, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the relevant section of the United States Constitution, which is Article I.
2. Identify the specific clause that pertains to the power to coin money. In this case, it is the phrase that states, "No State shall...coin money."
3. Notice that the Constitution explicitly takes away the states' authority to coin money.
4. Since the Constitution restricts this power from the states and grants it exclusively to the national government, it is classified as a delegated power.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Delegated."
