Under the Constitution, which of these is a power of the states?
APrinting the country's money
BDeclaring war on a country
CMaking treaties with nations
DGiving out driver's licenses
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Giving out driver's licenses
1. Some powers belong to the federal government and others belong to the states.
2. State powers include schooling and education, police protection, fire departments, driver's licenses, and zoning.
3. Giving out driver's licenses is on that list, so it is a state power.
4. Printing money belongs to the federal government alone.
5. Declaring war is a federal power too, because war is fought by the whole country.
6. Making treaties with other nations is federal as well, so the other three options all name federal powers.
