Question

2/2 directions: write federal in the first box provided if the power belongs only to the national government, state if it belongs only to the states, or both if it belongs to both. in the second box, write whether the power is expressed, implied, reserved, or concurrent power federal, state, or both expressed, implied, reserved or concurrent 1. collect taxes 2. set a minimum wage for the whole nation 3. declare war 4. build a school

Explanation:

1. collect taxes

Collecting taxes is a power that both the federal and state governments have (concurrent power), and it is an expressed power as it's stated in the Constitution (federal can collect income, excise taxes; states collect sales, income taxes in some cases). So first box: BOTH, second box: Expressed (or Concurrent, but tax collection is concurrent and expressed).

Setting a national minimum wage is a federal power (only federal can set for the whole nation), and it can be considered an implied power (based on commerce clause) or expressed? Wait, the federal government's power to set minimum wage is based on the commerce clause (implied), and it's a federal - only power (states can set their own, but national is federal). So first box: FEDERAL, second box: Implied (or Expressed? Actually, the Fair Labor Standards Act is federal law, so expressed? Maybe expressed as it's a law passed by federal, but rooted in commerce clause (implied). Let's go with federal power, and maybe implied or expressed.

Declaring war is a power only the federal government has (Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war), and it's an expressed power (stated in the Constitution). So first box: FEDERAL, second box: Expressed.

Answer:

First box: BOTH, Second box: Expressed (or Concurrent)

2. set a minimum wage for the whole nation
