Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The power to tax is a concurrent power because both the national and state governments have the authority to impose and collect taxes. However, they cannot tax the same thing or purpose twice, and the national government has some limitations on what it can tax. The other options listed are not concurrent powers but are either powers delegated exclusively to the national government (coin money, declare war, raise an army) or powers reserved exclusively to the states (regulate intrastate commerce).
