which of the following are the powers kept by the states under the federal system of the government in the united states
enumerated powers
concurrent powers
reserved powers
implied powers
The powers kept by the states under the federal system of government in the United States include:
- Reserved powers: These are powers that are not specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution, nor prohibited to the states. They are reserved for the states to exercise and include areas such as education, criminal justice, and intrastate commerce.
- Concurrent powers: These are powers that are shared by both the federal and state governments. Examples include the power to tax, establish courts, and regulate commerce.
- Implied powers: These are powers that are not expressly stated in the Constitution but are necessary and proper for the federal government to carry out its enumerated powers. Implied powers are derived from the necessary and proper clause of the Constitution, also known as the elastic clause. An example of an implied power is the power of the federal government to create a national bank.
Enumerated powers are not powers kept by the states, but rather powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution. Examples of enumerated powers include the power to declare war, regulate interstate commerce, and coin money.
