D-declaring war

Answer 1

The implied power of Congress would be B: establishing the Bank of the United States of America. Moreover, the "Elastic Clause" of the Constitution grants Congress power to pass unspecified laws "necessary and proper" for the exercise of its expressed powers

Answer 2

Answer:

A-passing a tax law is an example of an implied power of Congress.

Explanation:

• On the basis of the Constitutional authority provided to Congress to collect taxes, provide for the common defence, and promote the general welfare of the United States, Congress adopts laws on universal health care.
• The ability to regulate trade was used to set the minimum wage. They used their ability to mobilise forces to build the Air Force.
• Because Congress is given the authority to "make all laws necessary and suitable for carrying into operation," as stated in the Constitution, there are additional powers of the federal government known as implied powers.

They stem from Congress's authority to enact any laws that are "necessary and suitable" to execute its specified duties.
