Question 4 • RKAA- Second Semester Civics and Citizenship 0.5 New
Read the scenario.Several counties in a state have crumbling roads. Some of the roads are state roads. Others are stretches of the interstate highway system. The state gets money from the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Program to help repair the interstate highway. The state uses money from state taxes to repair the state roads.
Answer
A
It is an example of a reserved power because only states can build roads and highways.
B
It is an example of an enumerated power because only the federal government collects taxes.
C
It is an example of concurrent powers because both the federal government and states can build roads.
D
It is an example of an implied power because the federal government has the authority to create departments.
Explanation
This is an example of concurrent powers because both levels of government take part in road building and repair. The federal government provides money through its Federal Highway Program for interstate repairs, while the state uses state tax money for state roads. Choice C correctly describes powers shared by the federal government and the states.
