Congress can stretch its power to cover multiple areas and this is called the elastic clause. what would be an example of one of these areas that congress would have to stretch its power? what is an example where congress would have to stretch its power?

If you want to know what the government can do, specifically, you can look at Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, which lists Congress' powers: it can levy taxes, declare war, and coin money, among other things. These are called the government's enumerated powers, also called expressed powers, or delegated powers.

The immediate problem faced by the framers of the Constitution was that it was impossible to list all the powers of government. First off, there's just too many; and second, they wanted to build a government that would last and stand the test of time. They knew that the world was going to change; remember, these were all very educated and enlightened men, raised in the 18th century, the Age of Reason. They knew they couldn't predict what the world would look like in even ten years' time, much less in a century.

the old way of life was represented by superstition, an angry god, and absolute submission to authority. the thinkers of the age of reason ushered in a new way of thinking. this new way championed the accomplishments of humankind. individuals did not have to accept despair. science and reason could bring happiness and progress. kings did not rule by divine right. they had an obligation to their subjects. europeans pondered the implications for nearly a century. americans put them into practice first.

all freedom fighters demanded for constitution. so british finally granted india it's freedom. then a constituent assembly was formed. it's chair man was rajendra prasad and its deputy chairman was dr. br ambedkar.

this assembly take the time of about one year than our constitution was finally formed.
