In the USA, each branch of government has powers that have been defined as theirs by the Constitution. However, there is a notion of other powers that are not explicitly mentioned in it. In the case of Congress, such implied powers are deemed to be “necessary and proper”, that is to say, that it is understood that although they are not granted explicitly by the Constitution, they are logically and reasonably required to exercise those powers which are explicitly granted by the Constitution. Since the powers of coining money, acquiring territory and declaring war are explicitly granted by the Constitution to the federal government, the correct answer for this question would be building highway systems, which is an implied power (that also happens to be a concurrent power (a power that is exercised both by the federal and the state governments).

In a two paragraph essay, you will identify and discuss the causes and resolutions to the great depression.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The Great Depression was caused by several different factors including buying on margin and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. These two events are tied together, as many American citizens bought stocks on margin. In this case, a person would pay 10% down on the price of a stock and then would borrow the other 90% from a bank. During the 1920's, this did not seem like a bad idea. This is due to the fact that stocks were quite consistently increasing in price. However, when the Stock Market Crash late in 1929, millions of Americans lost their life savings because they invested too much in stocks. Due to the stock market crash, banks were shut down, millions of citizens became homeless, and the unemployment rate reached nearly 20%.

Herbert Hoover's policies were considered quite ineffective, as he very rarely used the power of the federal government to interfer in the ecnomy. This is why the shanty towns developed during this time were called "Hoovervilles." Franklin D. Roosevelt's policies were more effective than Hoover's, as he implemented his New Deal policies. This resulted in the creation of federal agencies that helped to employ thousands of Americans as well as creating agencies that regulated the American economy to ensure that another economic collapse did not take place.
