SOMEONE HELP ME!! Why did the United States go to war with Iraq? It was established that Saddam Hussein had provided aid and information to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

It was proven that Iraq had trained and funded the terrorists who carried out the attacks of September 11, 2001.

It was believed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and was a threat to the global community.

It was hoped that defeating Iraq would prevent the United States from having to go to war with Afghanistan.

Why would a person who believes in a strict interpretation of the constitution have a concern with the elastic clause? a) the elastic clause limits the ability of the government to respond to new needs of the nation. b) the elastic clause gives the supreme court original jurisdiction in a limited number of cases. c) the elastic clause allows congress to exercise powers not specifically listed in the constitution. d) the elastic clause guarantees that a citizen's property cannot be taken away with due process of law.
