ARTICLE 1: SECTION 8: “NECESSARY AND PROPER” CLAUSE “ELASTIC” CLAUSE This stretches power of the federal government; expands it’s powers to do things to get it’s work done. 3.INHERENT: powers that belong to all federal sovereign nations.

3. 4. NATIVE AMERICAN RELATIONS ARTICLE I: SECTION 8 1924: Native Americans granted American citizenship. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ALL AUTHORITY TO MAKE DEALS/TREATIES WITH ALL NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES. Treaty usually meant giving up land in exchange for government services “trust agreement”

Chief Justice John Marshall said because feds must regulate commerce, opening a bank to manage the finances was a power that became “ necessary and proper ” or IMPLIED. 1816: Congress created the 2 nd Bank of United States

9. WORKING TOGETHER… 2 views of Government 1. “Strict Constructionist ” view: they believe the Constitution is cut and dried; no room for gray area; if Constitution says it’s ok, if not, don’t ask Example: Thomas Jefferson (no power to establish a national bank of US) 2. “loose constructionist ” view: they believe there is “gray” in all areas; that the Constitution is open to interpretation Example: Alexander Hamilton said we needed national bank to collect taxes.

10. WORKING TOGETHER??? Framers intended for 3 branches to cooperate… So they created the “framework” of the government to be followed Over time, nation has grown in size, population and complexity

11. In the process, the 3 branches have put Constitution in action; adding to duties of the government… And sometimes, adding to it’s power President and Congress sometimes blame each other when unable to get things done…GRIDLOCK. Political parties can be blamed for inability to work together (partisan policies dictate how legislators vote on issues)
