Final answer:
The statement about Texas licensees is false as they are required to use promulgated contract forms. The necessary and proper clause actually expands federal power, not limits it, making Exercise 9.3.1's statement false. Exercise 9.3.1 is true in stating that the Constitutional Convention was intended to revise the Articles of Confederation. Exercise 9.1.3 is false, as Pennsylvania adopted a radical, not conservative, constitution during the Revolutionary Era.
Step-by-step explanation:
Regarding the statement about Texas licensees using any contract forms, it is false. In Texas, real estate licensees are required to use promulgated contract forms when negotiating contracts for the sale, lease, or exchange of real estate, unless one of the parties is represented by an attorney or the transaction falls under another exception. These forms are designed to comply with all legal requirements, including the Texas Statute of Frauds, and incorporate all elements of a valid contract. It's worth noting that the Statute of Frauds necessitates certain contracts, such as those related to real estate transactions, to be in writing and signed by the parties in order to be enforceable. All elements of a valid contract must be present as well: mutual agreement (offer and acceptance), consideration, capacity, and legality. Exercise 9.3.1 states that the necessary and proper clause has had the effect of limiting the power of the national government. This statement is false. The necessary and proper clause, also known as the elastic clause, actually provides Congress with the authority to pass all laws necessary and proper for carrying out the enumerated powers. Hence, it expands, rather than limits, the powers of the national government. Another historical fact from Exercise 9.3.1 is that the Constitutional Convention met in 1787 to revise the Articles of Confederation. This statement is true. The original intent of the Convention was to revise the Articles. However, it ended up drafting a new constitution entirely, which laid the foundation for the current government of the United States. The last statement from Exercise 9.1.3, which suggests that Pennsylvania adopted one of the most conservative constitutions of the Revolutionary Era, is false. Pennsylvania’s constitution at the time was considered one of the most radical, as it granted voting rights to all men, established a unicameral legislature, and incorporated the idea of a strong executive council instead of a governor.
