Powers Granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution

The Constitution grants several powers to the federal government, including the power to regulate interstate commerce, the power to declare war, the power to print and regulate money, the power to establish post offices and post roads, the power to make treaties with foreign nations, and the power to establish a national court system. Additionally, the federal government has implied powers, which are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are necessary to carry out its duties, such as the power to create a national bank.
