    Explanation
    The term "constructionists" refers to individuals who interpret the constitution. The word "favored" indicates that these constructionists had a preference for a certain approach. The word "liberal" suggests that they supported a more flexible or broad interpretation of the constitution. Therefore, the correct answer is "Liberal."

    Powers explicitly stated in the constitution are called

    • Expressed powers

    • Inherent Powers

    • Implied Powers

    • Concurrent Powers

    Correct Answer
    A. Expressed powers
    Explanation
    Expressed powers are powers that are specifically mentioned or granted in the constitution. These powers are clearly stated and defined, leaving no room for interpretation. They are also sometimes referred to as enumerated powers. Examples of expressed powers include the power to declare war, coin money, regulate commerce, and establish post offices. These powers are given to the federal government and are essential for it to carry out its functions effectively.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Those powers traditionally held by the national government or that people assume the government has because it is a national government are called

    • Expressed Powers

    • Inherent Powers

    • Implied Powers

    • Concurrent Powers

    Correct Answer
    A. Inherent Powers
    Explanation
    Inherent powers refer to those powers that are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are assumed to be possessed by the national government. These powers are derived from the government's sovereign nature and are necessary for it to function effectively. They are typically related to areas such as foreign affairs, national defense, and immigration. Inherent powers are distinct from expressed powers, which are specifically granted to the national government by the Constitution, and implied powers, which are derived from the necessary and proper clause. Concurrent powers, on the other hand, are powers shared by both the national and state governments.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Powers that can be reasonably deduced from the powers granted to the National government are called

    • Expressed Powers

    • Inherent Powers

    • Implied Powers

    • Concurrent Powers

    Correct Answer
    A. Implied Powers
    Explanation
    Implied powers are powers that can be reasonably deduced from the powers granted to the National government. Unlike expressed powers, which are specifically listed in the Constitution, implied powers are not explicitly stated but are derived from the necessary and proper clause. This clause allows the National government to carry out its enumerated powers effectively. Implied powers give the government flexibility in addressing new and unforeseen issues that may arise, ensuring that the government can effectively govern and adapt to changing circumstances.
