Question 2 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

The power to establish a national bank is

Answer
A
an express power of the judicial branch.
B
an implied power of the executive branch.
C
an implied power of Congress.
D
an express power of Congress.

Explanation

The Constitution does not specifically list the power to create a national bank. Congress may use powers implied by its enumerated responsibilities, including regulating commerce and managing federal finances; the Necessary and Proper Clause supports those implied powers. Therefore, establishing a national bank is an implied power of Congress, not an express power.
