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 a power explicitly given to the federal government in the Constitution. Options A, B, and D are not delegated powers of the federal government. Regulating education is typically left up to the states, establishing local governments is usually a state power, and conducting elections is a shared responsibility between the federal government and the states.
