Answer: The Necessary and Proper Clause gave it relevance and the amendment process gave it flexibility.

Explanation:

The United States of America consist about seven thousands words. The "Necessary and Proper" Clause can be found in Article 1 on the right section of the constitution. The article states and I quote:

''...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 any Department or Officer thereof".

NOTE: The words in block/capital letters identify the clause.

The Necessary and proper clause is also reffered to as an Elastic clause.

Also, the Amendment process makes the constitution flexible. The constitution can be amended if the majority (two-thirds) votes for an amendment in the constitution.

characteristic of the Constitution has kept it relevant and flexible, by virtue of very general language is the NECESSARY AND PROPER CLAUSE.

madam [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is, Yes, past age 85 years of age, for every 100 men, there are 200 women.

Explanation:

Your grandmother is 87 years old and she told you that all of her friends are women. There is no single man in her circle of friends. She also told that it is rare to see a man over the age of 85. It is because of the fact that women are more in number than man above the age of 85 and this ratio is like 100 men per 200 women, which means the chances of getting a male friend is almost half after the age of 85. So women are more in number than men.
