Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Congress has the power to establish post offices, as outlined in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. The other statements are incorrect. The U.S. Air Force is part of the Department of Defense, and its fiscal responsibility falls under the purview of the Congress, not the Air Force alone (A). The state government has some jurisdiction in operating airports and licensing airlines, but this power is not near exclusive (B). States do not have the authority to regulate foreign commerce independently, as this power is given to the federal government (C). Finally, the Congress does not have exclusive jurisdiction in areas such as family or property law; this is typically an area of state jurisdiction (E).
