The Elastic Clause
the elastic clause helps to protect our natural rights by allowing the government to adjust to a national crysis. However, the elastic clause is not very specific, and so really anything can be deemed "necessary and proper" as the elastic clause goes, so the elastic clause on the other hand can actually violate our rights as well. It all depends on how it is interpreted.
