What are the three types of powers included in the Constitution?
The three types of powers included in the Constitution are:
1. Enumerated powers: These are the powers specifically granted to the federal government. They are listed in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and include powers such as the ability to levy taxes, regulate commerce, and declare war.
2. Reserved powers: These are the powers reserved for the states. While the Constitution does not explicitly list the reserved powers, the Tenth Amendment specifies that any powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved for the states. These powers typically include areas like education, health, and intrastate commerce.
3. Concurrent powers: These are the powers shared by both the federal government and the states. Examples of concurrent powers include the ability to collect taxes, establish courts, and enforce laws. However, in case of a conflict, federal law prevails due to the Supremacy Clause in Article VI of the Constitution.
