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

  1. Regulating education.

  2. Establishing local governments.

  3. Printing money.

  4. Conducting elections.

The correct answer is: Printing money.

One example of a delegated power of the federal government is the ability to print money. This means that the federal government has the sole authority to create and distribute currency within the United States. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they are examples of powers that are not solely delegated to the federal government. Education is primarily regulated by state and local governments, the establishment of local governments is primarily done by state governments, and conducting elections is a shared responsibility between the federal and state governments.
