Final answer:

It is false that it is illegal to name your dog FICO and the assertion that the necessary and proper clause limits the power of the national government is also false; this clause has allowed the expansion of governmental powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In regard to the question about whether it's illegal to name your dog FICO, the statement is false. There are no government laws that restrict naming pets after financial terms or acronyms. FICO stands for Fair Isaac Corporation, which is known for creating the FICO score, a measure of consumer credit risk. Naming a pet would not constitute misrepresentation of an individual's credit score.

Regarding Exercise 9.3.1, the statement that the necessary and proper clause has had the effect of limiting the power of the national government is also false. The Necessary and Proper Clause, often referred to as the Elastic Clause, is found in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution and grants Congress the power to pass all laws necessary and proper for carrying out the enumerated list of powers. Historically, this clause has been used to expand, rather than limit, the powers of the national government.
