Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Article I, Section 8
1. The enumerated powers of the national legislature appear in Article I, Section 8.
2. They define the jurisdictional boundaries within which the federal government may act, covering the general welfare, the common defence, and national integration.
3. Coining money, regulating interstate and foreign commerce, declaring war and raising armies all sit in this list.
4. Article IV, Section 1 is the full faith and credit clause and Article VI carries the supremacy clause, so neither holds the enumerated powers.
