. How is the elastic clause related to Congress and implied powers?

The Elastic Clause also known as the Necessary and Proper Clause is an important part of the U.S. Constitution. It is located in Article I Section 8 Clause 18 and states that Congress has the power To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States or in any Department or Officer thereof. In other words the Elastic Clause grants Congress the implied power to create any laws that are necessary and proper to fulfill the obligations of the government. This clause is essential to the functioning of the government because it allows Congress to respond quickly to new situations and address issues as they arise. It also allows Congress to take action that is not specifically listed in the Constitution. This clause is a vital part of the system of checks and balances that ensures that no branch of the government has too much power.


How does congress impact your life?

As the branch of the government which makes and passes laws, levies taxes, as well as declares war, Congress impacts us more than any other part of the federal system. Our elected members of Congress are to represent our opinions, and vote for legislation that will be benefit us, and against that which does not. If they fail to do so, we have the ability, through the voting process, to replace them with someone else who will fulfill the goal.
