Question

Raising and collecting taxes is an example of __________. A. providing for the common defense B. establishing justice C. insuring domestic tranquility D. promoting the general welfare

Answer 1

In my opinion the fourth answer is more correct (D).

The tax collection system is part of the fiscal policy scope of the government and aims to collect the money to apply in public policies that promote social benefit, which is the same as promoting general well-being.

In this context, raising taxes means more money in the government's hand to target public policies and more social benefit, if properly applied.

Answer 2

I believe it is an example of answer choice D promoting the general wellfare!
