Question 14 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

Which of these powers is considered an implied power?

Answer
r
raising taxes
r
regulating trade
c
creating a national bank
d
declaring war

Explanation

An implied power is not stated word-for-word in the Constitution but is considered necessary to carry out an expressed power. The Constitution does not specifically say Congress may create a national bank, but Congress has used the Necessary and Proper Clause to justify doing so. Creating a national bank is therefore the implied power.
