The Constitution spells out_______ -those powers that belong to the federal government alone. What goes in the blank??

svlad2 [7]

<h2>"Expressed powers" or "enumerated powers."</h2>

Enumerated powers are those powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.

Enumerated powers include such things as the power to coin/print money, the power to establish and impose tariffs, and the power to regulated trade with foreign nations and trade/commerce between states.

Strict constructionists and loose constructionists differ over whether the government's powers should be limited to those specifically enumerated powers. Strict constructionists read the Constitution as giving the federal government only those specifically delegated powers. Loose constructionists argue that anything not specifically forbidden by the constitution can be within the window of what the government needs to do in adapting to the needs of time and circumstances.

Mice21 [21]

Which political system is run by a group of noble families or wealthy members of society?

klasskru [66]

Oligarchy is the political system that is run by a group of noble families or wealthy members of a society. The term Oligarchy was first used by the great Aristotle for describing the powers that were held by a very small and highly privileged group. These people often misused their powers and treated the people under their rule very poorly and also used them to satisfy their selfish needs. It has been commonly seen that the rulers that believed in Oligarchy actually selected people on herediterary basis and not based on merit.

Who were the committee of correspondence? how were they seen as a shadow government?

Andreas93 [3]

The committees of correspondence were shadow governments organized by the Patriot leaders of the Thirteen Colonies on the eve of the American Revolution. They coordinated responses to England and shared their plans; by 1773 they had emerged as shadow governments, superseding the colonial legislature and royal officials. The Maryland Committee of Correspondence was instrumental in setting up the First Continental Congress, which met in Philadelphia. These served an important role in the Revolution, by disseminating the colonial interpretation of British actions between the colonies and to foreign governments. The committees of correspondence rallied opposition on common causes and established plans for collective action, and so the group of committees was the beginning of what later became a formal political union among the colonies.
