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.

Printing money is an example of a delegated power of the federal government. This power is explicitly granted to the federal government by the Constitution, and is not shared with the states. This is why options A, B, and D are incorrect. Regulating education and establishing local governments are typically responsibilities of state governments, while conducting elections is a shared responsibility between the federal government and the states.
