Answer 1

The power to negotiate treaties is an example of a delegated power. Delegated powers are those specifically assigned to the federal government by the Constitution, and negotiating treaties falls under the authority granted to the federal government. The other options provided (the power to tax, provide police protection, and build roads and bridges) are generally considered concurrent powers or reserved powers held by states.
