Types of Governmental Power Enumerated Expressed powers written

Types of Governmental Power • Enumerated (Expressed)- powers written word-for-word in the Constitution Examples- “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union…” • Delegated-are the powers granted to the national government by the U. S. Constitution. Examples- the enumerated and implied powers the Constitution gives to the Federal government • Implied- powers suggested in Constitution “in so many words” or “suggested” if you “read between the lines” Examples- powers extended by the “necessary and proper clause” • Inherent- powers that sovereign nations are expected to have that are not necessary to spell out in the Constitution Examples- authority to make and enforce immigration law, authority to acquire new territory outside the existing boundaries of the U. S. • Concurrent- powers both state and national government share according to the Constitution Examples- lay and collect taxes, establish courts, make and enforce laws… • Reserved (10 th Amendment)- this power embodies the concept of Federalism…the reserved powers of the states are the powers which the Constitution neither delegates to the national government nor denies to the states. Examples- establish and organize local governments, schools, exercise general police power (protect public health, safety, morals etc…)
