Which of the following is a power of the federal government?

• A. Print money
• B. To give a driver's license
• C. Provide schooling (education)
• D. Provide protection (police)

Answer: (A)

The federal government has certain powers listed in the Constitution, and printing money is one of them. Congress is given the authority to coin money and regulate its value, so money creation and monetary policy are federal responsibilities. The other tasks—issuing driver’s licenses, providing schooling, and policing—are primarily managed by states and local governments because these services vary by state and are better organized at the local level. The Tenth Amendment reinforces that powers not delegated to the federal government belong to the states, so money printing remains a federal power while the others stay with state governments.
