Different powers are used throughout the levels of government. Review and match the types of powers to their definition. Question 7 options: powers neither the federal or state government have (such as making a law that would prevent the establishment of religion) powers that are suggested and allowed due to the necessary and proper/elastic clause such as establishing the interstate highway system powers that both national and state governments have/do such as collecting taxes powers that don't have to be given in the Constitution - they are just a part of government, such as protecting the country from attack Powers specifically given to the national government such as establishing post offices 1. concurrent powers 2. delegated powers 3. denied powers 4. implied powers 5. inherent powers

Let's match each type of power with its definition

concurrent powers: powers that both national and state governments have/do such as collecting taxes. They refer to those powers which are shared by the different goverment levels existing in the federal structure: at the federal, state, province and local levels. delegated powers: Powers specifically given to the national government such as establishing post offices. These are also known as enumerated powers and are contained in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States. denied powers: powers neither the federal or state government have (such as making a law that would prevent the establishment of religion). These are powers which cannot be exercised by any level within a federal goverment, for example, allowing slavery (explicitly forbidden by 13th Amendment) denying voting rights to certain citizens (explicitly condemned in the Voting Rights Act from 1965). implied powers: powers that are suggested and allowed due to the necessary and proper/elastic clause such as establishing the interstate highway system. These powers are not explicitly included in the US Constitution but can be derived from others than are. inherent powers: powers that don't have to be given in the Constitution - they are just a part of government, such as protecting the country from attack. These are goverment powers which are not explicitly stated in a Constitution but are implicit in a sovereign state and for its rulers.
