Answer:

I believe it's implied.

Step-by-step explanation:

The power that is granted to Congress by the Constitution is given so they can collect taxes and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States. Coining money and declaring war both seem to be implied, based on that fact.

Answer:

Implied powers give congress the right to coin money and declare war.

Step-by-step explanation:

These implied powers are vested in congress by the constitution through (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18). It is also called as ‘Elastic clause’. It helps the Congress to exercise enumerated powers.

The elastic clause is also called as ‘Necessary and Proper clause’. It is not mentioned but assumed to be implemented 27 powers under Article-I. By exercising this power, they passed Gun control law in 1927, Federal Minimum Wage law in 1938, Revenue act in 1861 passed for Income Tax.
