Another name for the Elastic Clause is the Necessary and Proper Clause.
The Necessary and Proper Clause, found in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, grants Congress the power to make laws deemed necessary to execute its enumerated powers. This clause plays a crucial role in federalism by allowing the federal government to adapt and expand its authority, potentially encroaching on states' rights. While it enables the federal government to address national issues effectively, it can also lead to tensions as states may resist federal mandates that they view as overreach. Thus, the clause is a significant factor in the ongoing balance between federal authority and state sovereignty.
