The No Child Left Behind Act was a grant program enacted in 2002 that directed testing elementary and secondary students in math and reading proficiency. This act required states to create, fund, and implement programs that would help all students become proficient in these areas by 2014. After reading the scenario, respond to A, B, and C below:

(A) Describe a power Congress could use to address the information outlined in the scenario.

(B) In the context of the scenario, explain how the power described in Part A can be affected by perspectives on one of the foundational principles of U. S. government.

(C) In the context of the scenario, explain how the foundational principle in Part B affects the structure and function of the federal government.

A) A power that Congress could use to address the information outlined in the scenario would be with expressed powers that cover constitutional lawmaking. From the constitution, the Congress has the ability to make necessary laws, meaning that the laws made will be used in the scenario in order to make sure that the states create, fund and implement the programs that will ensure the No Child Left Behind Act is one that is successful.

B) One of the foundational principles of U.S. government that can be used to affect the expressed power described in Part A would be the principle of limited government. The principle of limited government is the concept that the government should not be overarching and that force is restricted when involving delegated power. This means that the government is only able to do what the people will allow it to do, so when it comes to educating children, the people support the government to implement the program but the government is unable to use any time of force when doing so.

C) The foundational principle in Part B affects the structure and function of the federal government because limited government is outlined in the Tenth Amendment. In the Tenth Amendment, the powers that are held and those that are not entrusted to the national government in the constitution are reserved for the people and the states. This means that the state and federal powers are both outline and defined in order to make sure there are not any conflict of interests.
