what kind of powers are defined by the necessary and proper clause?
○ implied
○ expressed
○ enumerated
○ reserved

Explanation:

The Necessary and Proper Clause (also known as the Elastic Clause) in the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the implied powers to make laws that are necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers. Implied powers are not explicitly stated but are inferred as needed to execute the expressed (enumerated) powers. Expressed/enumerated powers are directly listed in the Constitution, and reserved powers are for the states (Tenth Amendment). So the powers from the Necessary and Proper Clause are implied.

Answer:

A. implied
