The major benefit of having the elastic clause in the United States Constitution is that the Congress has the power to grant laws necessary and proper for carrying out the enumerated list of powers.

During the drafting of the constitutions, the powers listed were based on the current experiences of the founders. However, they know that as the years pass by, factors may affect how the branches of government will perform their duties. Thus, the constitution included the elastic clause that enables congress to pass laws that will help the government perform their duties in their present situation and for future generations.
