What following?

blah

To find the answer to this question, we need to refer to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution and look for the specific powers granted to Congress.

Article I, Section 8 lists out the various powers of Congress, also known as the "enumerated powers." These powers outline what Congress is authorized to do.

To answer the question, we need to identify which of the powers listed in Article I, Section 8 is not granted to Congress. Let's go through the section:

1. The power "To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises" is granted to Congress.
2. The power "To borrow Money on the credit of the United States" is granted to Congress.
3. The power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes" is granted to Congress.
4. The power "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization" is granted to Congress.
5. The power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures" is granted to Congress.
6. The power "To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States" is granted to Congress.
7. The power "To establish Post Offices and post Roads" is granted to Congress.
8. The power "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries" is granted to Congress.
9. The power "To constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court" is granted to Congress.
10. The power "To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations" is granted to Congress.
11. The power "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water" is granted to Congress.
12. The power "To raise and support Armies" is granted to Congress.
13. The power "To provide and maintain a Navy" is granted to Congress.
14. The power "To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces" is granted to Congress.
15. The power "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions" is granted to Congress.
16. The power "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings" is granted to Congress.

Now, by examining these powers, we can identify that the power to "grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal" is not explicitly mentioned in Article I, Section 8. This means that the correct answer is: "The power to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal."
