The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.
A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.
This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.
If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.
The correct answer is option d) It gave land to the states to build colleges.
Officially kown as Land-Grant College Act of 1862 or the Morrill Act was a Congress Act passed in 1862 which gave public land grants to States in order to build new colleges and Universities.
At the time, the United States had a handful of schools of higher education and this was seen as a way to simultaneously build universites all over the country and improve the overall skill level in the country.
