Answer 2

Based on the statement, the power to create and support an army is a delegated power.

Step-by-step explanation:

The delegated or enumerated powers are those that are explicitly granted in the Constitution to the federal government. Since the states are preexisting to the foundation of the nation and the sanction of the Constitution, when they met in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, they delegated some powers they originally had to the federal government, specifically to Congress.

Delegated powers are listed in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.
