    Correct Answer
    A. Concurrent
    Explanation
    Concurrent powers are shared by both the state and national governments. These powers allow both levels of government to exercise authority over the same areas, such as taxation, law enforcement, and the establishment of courts. This sharing of powers helps to maintain a balance between the state and national governments, ensuring that neither level becomes too powerful or dominant.

    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Concurrent powers are powers that are shared by both the federal government and the state governments. The examples given in the options, such as tax, borrowing money, and maintaining court systems, are all examples of powers that can be exercised by both levels of government.

    _______ is another name for concurrent powers.  

    • Expressed

    • Enumerated

    • Designated

    • Shared

    Correct Answer
    A. Shared
    Explanation
    Shared is another name for concurrent powers. Concurrent powers are powers that are shared by both the federal government and the state governments in a federal system. These powers are not exclusive to either level of government and can be exercised by both simultaneously. Therefore, shared is the most appropriate term to describe concurrent powers.

  • 5. 

    ________ powers come from delegated powers. 

    • Delegated

    • Reserved

    • Implied

    • Concurrent

    • Inherent

    Correct Answer
    A. Implied
    Explanation
    Implied powers come from delegated powers. Delegated powers are powers specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution. Implied powers, on the other hand, are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are necessary to carry out the delegated powers. These powers are derived from the necessary and proper clause, which allows the government to make laws that are necessary for the execution of its enumerated powers. Therefore, implied powers are a result of the delegated powers granted to the federal government.

    ________ powers are given only to the state government. 

    • Delegated

    • Implied

    • Reserved

    Correct Answer
    A. Reserved
    Explanation
    Reserved powers are those powers that are specifically granted to the state governments in a federal system, while the federal government retains all other powers not specifically granted to the states. These powers are outlined in the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Reserved powers allow states to govern themselves and make decisions on issues that directly affect their citizens, such as education, public health, and transportation. This ensures that states have the ability to address the unique needs and preferences of their residents.

    ________ powers are only given to the national government. 

    • Implied

    Correct Answer
    A. Delegated
    Explanation
    Delegated powers are only given to the national government. Delegated powers, also known as enumerated or expressed powers, are specifically listed in the Constitution and are granted to the national government. These powers include the ability to regulate commerce, declare war, and coin money. This means that only the national government has the authority to exercise these powers, while state governments do not have them.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    ________ powers are powers that all government have. 

    • Delegated

    • Concurrent

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Inherent powers are powers that all governments have by virtue of their existence. These powers are not explicitly stated in any constitution or laws but are considered necessary for the government to function effectively. They include the power to regulate immigration, declare war, establish diplomatic relations, and maintain national security. Inherent powers are derived from the sovereignty of the state and are often exercised in times of crisis or emergency.
