Where are the implied powers of Congress found?

Answer
A
They are explicitly listed in the Constitution.
B
They are suggested but not stated in the Constitution.
C
They are described in Supreme Court rulings.
D
They are established by a president’s executive orders.

Explanation

Implied powers are not listed word for word in the Constitution. They are inferred from the powers that are expressly granted, especially Congress’s power to make laws “necessary and proper” for carrying out its duties. Therefore, they are suggested but not stated in the Constitution.
