Final answer:

The assertion that an agent cannot seek remedy in a contract for personal services if the principal does not perform is false; remedies are available for breach of contract. Additionally, the necessary and proper clause expands government power, and proprietors in a colony had responsibilities beyond profit collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that in an agency contract for personal services, the agent does not have the right to pursue a remedy if the principal does not perform as agreed is false. An agency contract, like any other contract, provides remedies for breach of contract. If a principal fails to perform as agreed upon in the personal services contract, the agent has the legal right to seek a remedy, which could include suing for damages or specific performance, depending on the terms of the contract and the nature of the breach.

Moreover, looking at the exercises provided for reference, the necessary and proper clause rather than limiting actually expands the power of the national government, making the correct answer to Exercise 9.3.1 false. For Exercise 5.2.2, in a proprietary colony, the Proprietors indeed had responsibilities beyond just collecting profits, which included governance and upkeep, thus the correct answer is false.
