Question

The case appears on page 71 in Volume 92 of the official Tax Court of the United States Reports and the case was decided in 1989.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

True,The necessary and proper clause expanded Congressional power, the colonists objected to taxation without representation, and the Three-Fifths Compromise concerned both representation and taxation, making the statements respectively false, true, and true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's questions are all related to historical events, constitutional clauses, and historical debates that centered around the foundation and development of the United States political system. Let's address each one:

1. Exercise 9.3.1: The necessary and proper clause has not limited the power of the national government; instead, it has been interpreted to grant Congress the flexibility to pass laws deemed necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers. Therefore, the statement is False.
2. Exercise 7.3.1: It is True that the colonists' primary objection was not to taxation per se but to the lack of representation in the Parliament that was levying taxes on them - 'no taxation without representation' captures this sentiment.
3. Exercise 9.3.5: The Three-Fifths Compromise was indeed about representation and taxation; specifically, it determined that for purposes of representation and taxation, five slaves would count as three free men. Thus, this statement is True.
