An implied power is a power that is not explicitly stated in the Constitution but can be considered necessary to carry out the powers given to the federal government. In this case, having a draft for the military is an example of an implied power because it is not explicitly laid out in the Constitution but is seen as necessary for the federal government to be able to maintain a standing army and defend the nation. The other options, while they may be important powers held by the federal government, are not considered to be implied powers as they are explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. This includes A) The authority to print money being given to Congress in Article I, Section 8, B) The power to declare war being given to Congress in Article I, Section 8, and D) Establishing education standards being left to the states in the 10th Amendment.
