I believe the act is the Selective Service Act. This acts drafted young men into the military based on military needs, not based on volunteers. This doubled the size of the army and navy because hundreds of men were required to enroll for war.

Which power does the Constitution specifically deny to the federal government?
bazaltina [42]

The correct answer is B) The power to ratify changes to the Constitution.

The federal government is given the ability to tax citizens multiple times. This includes Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution and the 16th amendment (which establishes the federal income tax).

The power to regulate interstate commerce is also in Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution. This was further reinforced by the Supreme Court case Gibbons vs. Ogden.

The US Constitution also explicitly gives the right to sign treaties to the federal government.

This is why B can be the only correct answer.
