Question

Which of these is an example of an implied power of Congress? a) signing a peace treaty b) proposing an amendment to the Constitution e) regulating internet usage d) coining a new twenty-five cent coin

Answer 1

Answer:

C) regulating internet usage

Explanation:

Implied power is a form of power in which it is believed to be in the jurisdiction of the United States Congress to perform but the United States Constitution does not explicitly or outright stated.

The Article 1 to 5 of the United States Constitution explicitly states the power of the US Congress and it includes: signing a peace treaty, proposing an amendment to the Constitution, coining a new twenty-five cent coin.

However, the power of the congress to "regulating internet usage, " is not outrightly stated in the Constitution, hence it is a good example of Implied power because it is relatively be inferred to align with express powers, though not outrightly stated.
