Right.
Why did the scarecrow become a member of Congress? Because he had a lot of experience in the field!
So the answer is D. regulate agriculture. That power is not specifically enumerated to Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
The correct answer is D. regulate agriculture.
To determine the answer to this question, we need to understand what "enumerated powers of Congress" refers to. The term "enumerated powers" refers to the powers explicitly listed in the United States Constitution that are granted to Congress (the legislative branch of the government).
To find the answer, we can refer to the United States Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 8. This section outlines the specific powers given to Congress. By reviewing these powers, we can identify which one is NOT an enumerated power.
A. "Tax" is an enumerated power of Congress. Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution grants Congress the power to levy taxes.
B. "Coin money" is an enumerated power. Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 gives Congress the authority to coin money and regulate its value.
C. "Declare war" is also an enumerated power. In Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, Congress is given the power to declare war.
D. The answer to the question is D. "Regulate agriculture" is NOT an enumerated power of Congress. While Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3), the specific power to regulate agriculture is not mentioned.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. "Regulate agriculture."
