The federal government's ability to draft people into the army is:

A. a reserved power, because the Constitution makes the military a power of the states.
B. a concurrent power, because the federal government works with state governments to accomplish this.
C. an expressed power, because the Constitution specifically allows it.
D. an implied power, because the Constitution allows it to organize a military.

I believe the answer is: D. an implied power, because the Constitution allows it to organize a military.

Implied power refer to the type of powers that are not directly written in the constitution, but deemed as necessary in order to actualize expressed power in the constitution. Drafting people into an army ( especially during emergency) can be seen as an integral process to organize the military.
