Question

The United States Constitution, like the laws under English rule, permitted the U.S. government to

	a.	impose taxes to pay for government services and national defense
	b.	regulate commerce with other countries and between the states
	c.	do all of these
	d.	create money and regulate its value

Answer 1

The correct answer to the above question will be the option C. That is the United States constitution, like the laws under English rule, permitted the U.S. government to impose taxes to pay for government services and national defence and regulate commerce with other countries and between states and also create money and regulate its value.

The correct option has to be C, because the options are essential for the functioning of any government. Government imposes taxes to finance it's expenditure on public services, and also it controls the commerce with other countries and between states as it suits its interest. And money is essential for any economy and the government has to power control the money creation and hence its value. As increasing money decreases its values, the government controls the value of money also.
