The elastic clause of the constitution allows the government to propose or formulate laws to deal with modern issues that were not envisaged by the founding fathers.

Explanation:

The elastic clause of the constitution allows the government to propose or formulate laws to deal with modern issues that were not envisaged by the founding fathers.

Congress can make any law it needs to, in order to carry out its enumerated powers. This 'necessary and proper' clause, then, allows the government to stretch beyond its literal description; that's why the clause is often nicknamed the elastic clause, since its flexibility allows the government to change and grow over time.
