Question

The investigator has the authority to investigate other matters unrelated to the original complaint that are related to the conduct of the investigated person.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The Necessary and Proper Clause, often referred to as the Elastic Clause, has historically been used to expand rather than limit the powers of the national government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'The necessary and proper clause has had the effect of limiting the power of the national government.' is false. The Necessary and Proper Clause, also known as the Elastic Clause, is found in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. This clause provides Congress with the authority to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution its powers. Contrary to limiting, this clause has been interpreted to expand the powers of the national government, allowing it to pass laws that are not explicitly listed in the Constitution, as long as they are deemed necessary to execute its enumerated powers.
