Final answer:
The notary seal and notary journal are indeed the notary's exclusive property and may not typically be surrendered to any employer. The necessary and proper clause expands rather than limits the power of the national government. Proprietors in proprietary colonies had various responsibilities beyond merely collecting profits.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement saying The notary seal and the notary journal are the exclusive property of the notary and may not be surrendered to any employer is typically true. The notary seal and journal are indeed the exclusive property of the notary themselves. In many jurisdictions, even if a notary's commission is sponsored by an employer, the notary has the responsibility to maintain control over their seal and journal. Surrendering these tools to an employer would be against regulations, as they are personal to the notary and are meant to prevent fraud and protect the integrity of the notarial acts performed.
Addressing the exercise questions, exercise 9.3.1 states: 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, sometimes known as the elastic clause, actually gives Congress the flexibility to pass laws deemed necessary and proper for executing its enumerated powers, thereby often expanding its authority rather than limiting it.
Regarding exercise 2: In a proprietary colony, the Proprietors have no responsibilities except to collect the profits. This statement is false. In proprietary colonies, proprietors had numerous responsibilities including but not limited to the organization of the colony, maintenance of order, and even the defense and administration of the territory.
