Answer 1

Answer:

A. has provided the basis for an expanded role of the national government

Explanation:

The necessary and proper clause gives the Congress power to make all the laws necessary and proper to make and execute all foregoing power and every power vested by the Constitution of the United States. Hence, it gave the Congress incidental powers and hence provided the basis for an expanded role of the national government.
