What foreign policy and war powers are Congress granted by the Constitution, and which of these seems to be most significant/important?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should identify and describe some of the following powers: declaring war, regulating foreign commerce, raising and supporting military forces, and making rules governing military forces. The text argues that the power of the purse is the most significant of these powers, but students could of course make a case for one of the other powers.
