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.

What did the Romans do to help protect most cities from attack?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

They built them on hills.

Explanation:

Of course, they did this to create a natural defense from the attack of foreign invaders. For example, the city of Rome itself was built on seven famous hills. Of course, through time they tried to fortify them as much as possible, but the main defense laid on the physical location of those cities.
