In short...Also known as the elastic, this gives Congress all the powers it needs to carry out its enumerated powers. More detail...Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution is known as the "Necessary and Proper Clause." It gives Congress the power to make all laws that are necessary and proper for carrying out the duties of the legislative branch. It is also known as the "elastic clause" because it stretches the power of Congress.

this was in the McCulloch v. Maryland case in (1819).

Another name for necessary and proper clause?

The name of the Necessary and Proper Clause is "the Necessary and Proper Clause," but in the Constitution it's simply labeled Article I, Section 8 (Clause 18). It is the 18th Clause, but you have to count the clauses to find it because the enumerated powers aren't numbered.This is also often referred to as the "Elastic Clause" because it can be stretched to enable Congress to pass or enforce legislation that may seem (or actually be) beyond its constitutional reach.Necessary and Proper Clause"To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof."
