Question

Which of the following is not a duty of the state government?

A. Issuing Licenses
B. Conducting elections
C. Ratifying the Constitution
D. Declaring war

Answer 1

D. Declaring war

Step-by-step explanation:

Declaring war is a power granted only to Congress by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Section 8. On the other hand, the duties of issuing licenses and conducting elections are part of the reserved powers that the Tenth Amendment grants to state governments, and the duty of ratifying the Constitution is also granted to state government in Article V of the Constitution.
