Necessary and Proper Clause, enumerate

But the gulf between the apostles of authenticity and the past masters of political intrigue is not as great as the first group claims. As Niccolò Machiavelli wrote: “It is unnecessary for a prince to have all the good qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them.” Now, where’s my mask?

但是，“真实性”倡导者与以往政治权谋大师之间的分歧并没有前者宣称的那么大。正如尼科洛•马基雅维里(Niccolò Machiavelli)所写的那样：“一个君主没有必要具备我列出的所有优秀品质，但他很有必要表现得具备这一切品质。”那么，我的面具在哪里？

Necessary and Proper Clause

Constitutional provision, U.S. Constitution, Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 18, empowering Congress to make all laws which shall be "necessary and proper" for carrying into execution the enumerated powers of Congress. The phrase is not limited to such measures as are absolutely necessary, but includes all appropriate means that are conducive to the end to be accomplished, and which in the judgment of Congress, will most advantageously effect it. 110 U.S. 421, 440. The clause is not a grant of power but a declaration that Congress possesses all the means necessary to carry out its specifically granted powers. 361 U.S. 234.
