Answer: Government should be for the common good, not just for a few people.

Explanation:

The Pilgrims came to America escaping from the Church of England, where access to the government was limited to a select group of people, based on wealth or lineage.

In opposition to that, the Mayflower Compact established that the American government, although not yet independent from the English crown, would be meant to represent the common good, and this idea had a strong influence in the Declaration of Independence.

Different powers are used throughout the levels of government. Review and match the types of powers to their definition. Questio

kirill115 [55]

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.
