Under the Constitution, which of these is a power of the federal government?
ATo give people driver's licenses
BTo print money for the country
CTo approve zoning and land use
DTo run the public school system
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. To print money for the country
1. The Constitution splits power between the federal government and the states.
2. Powers of the federal government include printing money, declaring war, creating an army, and making treaties.
3. Printing money is on that list, so it is the answer.
4. Giving out driver's licenses is a power of the states.
5. Approving zoning and land use is a state power as well.
6. Schooling and education are provided by the states, so three of the four options sit on the state side of the split.
