Name one power that is only for the federal government.

Accepted answers:

  • Print paper money
  • Mint coins
  • Declare war
  • Create an army
  • Make treaties
  • Set foreign policy

Why this is the correct answer

Some governmental powers belong exclusively to the federal government because they must be handled uniformly across the whole country. Printing money, declaring war, making treaties with foreign nations, and setting foreign policy all fall into this category and cannot be done by individual states.
