Question 3 • Principles of American Democracy

Which of these powers is considered an implied power?

Answer
A
raising taxes
B
declaring war
C
regulating trade
D
creating a national bank

Explanation

The Constitution does not explicitly say Congress may create a national bank. Congress has used the Necessary and Proper Clause to justify establishing one as a way to carry out its enumerated powers, making it an implied power. Raising taxes, declaring war, and regulating trade are powers explicitly listed in the Constitution.
