Question 6 • 13011de CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US Government

Why is the Necessary and Proper Clause a source of ongoing debate?

Answer

A

Congress cannot agree on how broad its implied powers should be.

B

The wording of the clause is often undergoing revision.

C

The clause deals with implied powers that are ambiguously defined.

D

The clause establishes reserved rights, which vary from state to state.

Explanation

The Necessary and Proper Clause lets Congress make laws needed to carry out its enumerated powers. Because the Constitution does not precisely define the full reach of these implied powers, people debate how broadly Congress may use them. Therefore, the correct choice is “The clause deals with implied powers that are ambiguously defined.”
