What might have happened if the National Government could only legislate based on what is specifically in the Constitution?

The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.

A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.

This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.

If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.

What was the goal of having most of the CCC employees' money sent to their homes?
DIA [1.3K]

Correct answer choice is :

B) To put more money into the economy through the families

Explanation:

The CCC, also known as Roosevelt's Tree Army, was recognized with rebuilding the nation's decimated woodlands by starting an expected three billion trees from 1933 to 1942. This was critical, particularly in nations concerned by the Dust Bowl, where reforestation was required to cut the respiration, maintain rainwater in the soil, and hold the soil in position. So far-reaching was the CCC's reforestation plan that it was bound for more than half the reforestation, state, and individual, perform in the nation's records.
