Question

Health Care Aides are permitted certain restricted activities provided they are done under the supervision of a LPN.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The necessary and proper clause, often referred to as the Elastic Clause, has been interpreted to expand the powers of the Congress through implied powers, resulting in an increase, not a decrease, of federal power.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether it is true or false that the necessary and proper clause has had the effect of limiting the power of the national government. The correct answer is b. False. The necessary and proper clause, also known as the Elastic Clause, is found in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. It grants Congress the power to pass all laws that are necessary and proper for carrying out the enumerated list of powers. Rather than limiting the powers of the federal government, this clause has been interpreted to grant Congress implied powers that allow it to adapt to new situations that the Founding Fathers could not have anticipated. Over time, this has resulted in an expansion of federal power.
