Answer 2

• To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises
• To pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States.
• To borrow Money on the credit of the United States.
• To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congress as a Federal governmental branch, has the power to undertake certain things for the United States as a whole instead of for individual states. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution shows these powers which include: Congress will be able to collect taxes on from all states as well as duties, imposts and excises for the entire country.

Congress shall also be able to pay off debt and pass budgets for the defense of the nations. They will be able to borrow for the entire nation on the credit of the U.S. as a whole.

And finally, they can regulate commerce with foreign states and among the various states themselves but not within and as Indian tribes are seen as partly sovereign, only Congress can make deals with them as well.
