Question 12 • RKAA- Second Semester Civics and Citizenship 0.5 New

Which statement best compares enumerated and implied powers?

Answer
A
Enumerated powers are suggested by the Constitution, while implied powers are directly stated.
B
Collecting taxes is an implied power, while declaring war is an enumerated power.
C
Enumerated powers are directly stated in the Constitution, while implied powers are only suggested.
D
Creating rules for citizenship is an implied power, while creating the IRS is an enumerated power.

Explanation

Enumerated powers are explicitly listed in the Constitution, while implied powers are not directly listed but are understood to follow from the government’s stated powers. For example, the Constitution directly gives Congress the power to declare war, while other powers may be inferred as necessary to carry out its responsibilities. Therefore, the correct choice is “Enumerated powers are directly stated in the Constitution, while implied powers are only suggested.”
