Final answer:

The statement claiming the U.S. Marshals Service is the newest federal law enforcement agency is false, as it is the oldest, created in 1789. The questions from various exercises demonstrate different historical and governmental facts, such as the temporary nature of the Freedmen's Bureau and the expansive effect of the necessary and proper clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) is the nation’s newest and most versatile federal law enforcement agency" is false. The U.S. Marshals Service is actually the oldest federal law enforcement agency in the United States, established in 1789. This agency is part of the executive branch of government, and U.S. Marshals have a broad range of responsibilities, including protecting the federal judiciary, apprehending federal fugitives, managing and selling seized assets acquired by criminals through illegal activities, housing and transporting federal prisoners, and operating the Witness Security Program.

As for the statements provided from various exercises:

  • Regarding immigration federalism, the statement in Exercise 13 is false. The Supreme Court's decision in Arizona v. United States did not strike down all of Arizona's restrictive provisions on undocumented immigration, but rather a number of them.
  • In Exercise 4, the statement about the Freedmen's Bureau is false. The bureau was not envisioned as a permanent solution, and it was disbanded in 1872.
  • Exercise 11.3.1's statement that the market revolution brought many social and economic changes to the United States is true.
  • Exercise 9.3.1's statement that the necessary and proper clause has limited the power of the national government is false; it has often been used to expand it instead.
