Saturday I posted an article about the increased number of “crimes” established by the federal bureaucracy and listed the fifteen Departments created by Congress over the years to implement the laws passed by Congress. I ended with this question: Which ones are not allowed according to the Constitution?
Below are the current Departments. Below those Departments are the powers of Congress given to it by the Constitution. Match the powers of Congress up with the Departments created by Congress.
Current Departments of the Federal Government:
01) State
02) Treasury
03) Justice
04) Interior
05) Agriculture
06) Commerce
07) Labor
08) Defense
09) Health and Human Services
10) Housing and Urban Development
11) Transportation
12) Energy
13) Education
14) Veterans Affairs
15) Homeland Security
Which ones are not allowed according to the Constitution?
