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 in the United States is printing money. This is under the exclusive authority of the federal government as stated in the Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 8, Clause 5. Regulating education, establishing local governments, and conducting elections are not exclusive powers of the federal government. States also have the authority to regulate education, establish local governments, and conduct elections within their respective borders. Therefore, these choices are incorrect because they are not exclusively under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
