The federal government may only use powers given to it in the constitution describes a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The Constitution set up three separate parts of government - the authoritative, the official, and the legal - and each branch uses and affirms just those forces explicitly gave to it in the Constitution.

Assigned (now and then called counted or communicated) powers are explicitly allowed to the national government in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.

This incorporates the ability to coin cash, to manage business, to pronounce war, to raise and keep up military, and to set up a Post Office. So it defines that federal government use powers given to it in the constitution.
