SHORT ANSWER
26. ANS:
Answers will vary but may include that this clause allows the powers of Congress to stretch in order to carry
out the national government’s implied powers. These powers allow the government to resolve issues that the
Framers could not have foreseen.

Answers will vary but students should realize that federal supremacy is vital to the cohesion and survival of
the union. If each state was free to "go its own way" on controversial issues, the nation might gradually be
pulled apart.
