<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.

His first compromise that gained national recognition was the Missouri Compromise. This compromise would be used for roughly 4 decades when determining whether or not a new territory added to the US would have slavery.
His next big compromise was the Compromise of 1850. This helped to settle the controversy over what would happen in terms of slavery in the new territories acquired by the United States after the Mexican-American War.
