The document outlines the 5 types of powers divided between the national and state governments under the US Constitution: 1) Enumerated powers given to the federal government such as declaring war and coining money 2) Expressed powers which are enumerated powers given specifically to Congress like declaring war 3) Reserved powers given solely to state governments like operating schools and issuing licenses 4) Concurrent powers shared between states and federal government like making laws and borrowing money 5) Implied powers not explicitly written but suggested by the Constitution, allowing Congress to accomplish expressed powers, like building a mint to coin money.

The Constitutiondivides power betweenthe national government and the states. This creates fivedifferent types of powers withintheConstitution.
1. Enumerated Powers~ Powers given to thefederal government by the Constitution Enumeratedpowers are those powers given specifically (and only) to the national government. They can be foundin thefirst three Articles of the Constitution.
2. ExpressedPowers~ Powers given specifically to Congressby the Constitution These powers are listed in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. These are powers that onlyCongress may do, such as: declare war coin money establish a postal service maintainan army and navy
Expressed powers are a special kind of enumeratedpower. A diagram of thetwo powers might look like this: Enumerated Powers Expressed Powers Allexpressed powers are also enumerated, but not allenumerated powers are expressed.
Thinkabout it this way--if wemade a diagram showing all the birds in the world, it mightlook like this: Birds Ducks Allducks are birds, but not all birds are ducks. Yes?
Same comparison we can makebetween expressed and enumeratedpowers Enumerated Powers Expressed Powers Birds Ducks Allexpressed powers are enumerated,but not allenumerated powers are expressed.
3. Reserved Powers~ Powers theConstitutionsavesfor the states These are powers thatonlythe stategovernments may do, such as: operate the schools issue licenses (drivers, marriage, doctors, etc.) run elections withinthe state
4. Concurrent Powers~ Powers sharedbetweenthe statesand the nationalgovernment These are powers thatthe statesand thenationalgovernment can do at the same time, such as: make laws tax borrow money establish courts maintainroads
5. Implied Powers~ Powers given to Congress, but thatare not written, butsuggested, by the Constitution Implied powers come a specific sentence in Article I--Article I, Section 8, Clause 18. Clause 18 says Congress may do whatever else it needs to do to accomplish its Expressed powers. Thissentence is calledthe Elastic Clause--it stretchesthe powers given to Congress.
Implied powers allow Congress powers that are not specifically listedin the Constitution. For this reason, the Anti-federaliststhought it was the most dangerous sentence in the Constitution. Because of implied powers, Congress can builda mint to coin money. Implied powers also means Congress can control: space exploration nuclear power radio and TVcommunications (FCC)
