Review the reasoning from Hamilton’s National Bank argument.
It is not denied that there are implied as well as express powers, and that the former are as effectually delegated as the latter. And for the sake of accuracy it shall be mentioned, that there is another class of powers which may be properly denominated resulting powers. It will not be doubted that if the United States should make a conquest of any of the territories of its neighbours, they would possess sovereign jurisdiction over the conquered territory. This would rather be a result from the whole mass of the powers of the government & from the nature of political society, than a consequence of either of the powers specially enumerated.
Which option denotes the enumerated power that Hamilton identifies as the Constitutional basis for the federal government’s resulting authority to create a national bank?
A) to establish a uniform rule of naturalization and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States
B) to provide for the punishment of those who counterfeit the securities and current coin of the United States
C) to raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years
D) to coin money and regulate the value thereof, as well as that of foreign coin, and to fix the standard of weights and measures
I think the answer is D
Yes,
D.
