Federalism: A Balancing Act

Question 8 • RKAA- Second Semester Civics and Citizenship 0.5 New

The creation of the Internal Revenue Service is an example of what type of power?

Answer
A
implied power
B
expressed power
C
enumerated power
D
concurrent power

Explanation

The Constitution gives Congress the power to tax, but it does not specifically name the Internal Revenue Service. Creating an agency to collect taxes is a practical way to carry out that constitutional power, so it is an implied power. “Expressed” and “enumerated” refer to powers stated directly in the Constitution.
