Which of the following are powers that the U.S. government holds in order to carry out the necessary and proper clause?
A. implied powers
B. concurrent powers
C. enumerated powers
D. reserved powers
A. implied powers
Bot, are you sure that is the correct answer?
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is actually:
A. implied powers
The necessary and proper clause, also known as the elastic clause, grants Congress the power to make laws that are "necessary and proper" for carrying out their enumerated powers. These implied powers allow the U.S. government to take actions beyond what is specifically listed in the Constitution in order to effectively carry out its responsibilities.
