San Diego State University Powers of Government Discussion

Your writing ASSIGNMENT:

a) List the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POWERS under the US Constitution from Notes 1.1, page 1: these are: WAR, MONEY, TREATIES, INDIAN TRIBES relations, regulating INTERSTATE COMMERCE, BANKRUPTCY, federal TAXES, and anything NECESSARY AND PROPER for these (above) powers.

b) For EACH government power you listed, under each one, give an EXAMPLE of the federal (U.S.) government doing something (creating some agency of government, passing some actual law(s), or doing some project) that shows that FEDERAL government power in action.

Better: put a little bit of a story in it. It does not have to be a true story. So, for example, not just “the federal government declares a war”; but instead, as a better answer, add a little bit more: “the federal government declares war against XYZ Nation and [say some further action it does to carry it out] ….”
