Question

Because the Texas Constitution does not have a “necessary and proper” clause, _________. a. government powers are almost unlimited b. much of what is included in the constitution is improper c. the governor has to make the laws d. government is limited to what is in the constitution

Answer 1

The answer is d

I took the test

Answer 2

Option D, government is limited to what is in the constitution, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Necessary and Proper Clause is also called the Elastic Clause. It is through this clause that the Congress can make laws that are essential to carry on the execution of the (enumerated) powers. Through this clause, Congress can have access to the powers that are implied in the Constitution but not clearly mention.

Therefore the role of the Necessary and Proper Clause is that it enables Congress to enact new laws to run the administration in a proper manner, however, the Constitution of Texas does not have this clause which means the government of Texas is limited to what is written in the constitution.
