"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."—U.S. ConstitutionThis statement, sometimes called the "elastic clause," gives Congress
expressed powers
reserved powers
implied powers
shared powers

Answers

This statement, sometimes called the "elastic clause," gives Congress "express powers", since it is explicitly saying that Congress has the right to do anything that is deemed necessary for the functioning of the nation.

Correct answer:  implied powers

[Note that the other answer shown here should NOT be verified, as it is incorrect.  "Expressed powers" are also called "enumerated powers," and are those specifically named in the Constitution.]

Explanation:

Sometimes referred to as the "Elastic Clause," the "necessary and proper" clause of the United States Constitution grants Congress  implied powers beyond the specifically stated ones in the Constitution..  After enumerating a number of the powers of Congress, including borrowing money, coining money, regulating commerce, etc, Section 8 of Article I of the Constitution closes by saying Congress shall have power "to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."  That's a quite broad and "elastic" statement, which goes beyond specifically delegated powers and gives Congress additional implied powers.  

An example of the implementation of such implied powers in the Constitution occurred when Alexander Hamilton, as our nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, argued in favor of establishing a national bank.  Hamilton believed that anything that is not strictly forbidden in the Constitution is allowable.  A national bank was not strictly listed as something Congress could establish, but there was nothing in the Constitution to prohibit it.  And the "necessary and proper" clause gave leeway to create it, by the implied powers given to Congress.

Which of the following describes a major difference between the Enlightenment thinkers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke?A. Locke argued in favor of absolute monarchy, while Hobbes did not.
B. Hobbes believed that people were naturally evil, while Locke did not.
C. Hobbes followed the principles of liberalism, while Locke did not.
D. Locke supported the theory of a social contract, while Hobbes did not.

Answers

Answer:  B. Hobbes believed that people were naturally evil, while Locke did not.

Further explanation:

Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people.  But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in Leviathan in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War.  He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and acted with evil and violence toward one another as a result.  Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.

John Locke published his Two Treatises on Civil Government in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England.  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings.  Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.

In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way.  If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way.   Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved.    Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith.  But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke.   :-)

the answer to the question above is b. Hobbes believed that people were naturally evil, while Locke did not.

Which statement describes a key difference between the League of Nations and the United Nations? (4 points) Member nations contribute a certain amount of money to the organization. Political factions in some member nations resisted joining the organization.
The President of the United States strongly supported the organization.
Member nations placed armed forces at the disposal of the organization.

Answers

The correct answer is Member nations placed armed forces at the disposal of the organization

The League of Nations did not have the support of the United States army so they didn't have soldiers since Europe was war torn. Without anyone to enforce the laws that were made, nobody cared about adhering to those laws. The United Nations have an army at their disposal whose goal is to commit to peace missions worldwide and prevent things such as wars or similar horrors.

Answer:

Member nations placed armed forces at the disposal of the organization
