The Constitution grants two types of power to the national government: 1.Implied Powers 2.Expressed Powers Collectively, these powers are known as delegated powers
Expressed powers are powers that are directly stated in the Constitution.
Implied powers are not stated in the Constitution, rather they are implied through the necessary and proper, or “elastic clause.”
Reserved powers are powers that belong to the states and to the people.
Example: Some states require the use of motorcycle helmets (Michigan) while others do not (Illinois).
Examples: Death Penalty & Marriage
Concurrent powers are powers that both the national government and the states governments share together.
Spend for the general welfare Example: Education
