Which of the following is an example of a delegated power of the federal government in the United States?

Regulating education.
Establishing local governments.
Printing money.
Conducting elections.

The correct answer is: Printing money.

One possible explanation An example of a delegated power of the federal government in the United States is the power to print money. This falls under the federal government's authority to regulate the economy and control the supply of currency. Regulating education is typically a power delegated to the states, as outlined in the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. Establishing local governments is also a power given to the states, as they are responsible for their own governing bodies. Conducting elections is primarily the responsibility of state governments, as they oversee the voting process and count the ballots. Therefore, C is the only option that properly reflects a delegated power of the federal government.
