In a case about federal power, the Court upholds a law as "necessary and proper" to execute enumerated powers. What principle is shown?
A
Enumerated powers only, because Congress may act solely when the Constitution lists the exact policy tool, and implied powers are forbidden.
B
Implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause, allowing Congress to choose reasonable means to carry out its listed powers.
C
Judicial supremacy, because the Court may create new congressional powers whenever it believes national problems require a stronger government.
D
State police powers, because the Necessary and Proper Clause grants primary authority over economic regulation to state governments.
E
Writ of certiorari, because Congress can expand its authority whenever the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case from a lower court.
