Which is an example of an expressed power Congress holds?

Answer
A
creating a national banking system

taking away the right of habeas corpus
C
declaring war and maintaining a military
D
building and maintaining roads

Explanation

The Constitution explicitly gives Congress the power to declare war and to raise and support armies and maintain a navy. These are expressed powers because they are specifically listed in the Constitution. Creating a national bank and building roads are generally treated as implied powers, while suspending habeas corpus is restricted except in narrowly defined circumstances.
