41. Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the federal government. What is one power of the federal government?

American Government · System of Government

Accepted answer(s)

  • to print money
  • to declare war
  • to create an army
  • to make treaties

This is an American Government question on the 2008 Civics Test, testing whether an applicant understands the structure of American government rather than just current officeholders. If you're unsure, focus on remembering "to print money" first — it's the answer USCIS lists as the primary accepted response.

This is question 41 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
