Rogelio Kelley · Answer 1

The correct answer is: "create and collect new taxes".

The US Consitution, in Article I (Section 8) ennumerates in 17 paragraphs the (expressed) powers of the Congress. One of them is the power to "lay and collect taxes, duties, imports, and excises." The Congress can design and introduce taxes that seek to provide funding for federal defense mechanisms and, in general, taxes that aim to enhance the common welfare of the Union.
