a - #) Powers specifically given to the national government such as establishing post offices

c - #) 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

d - #) powers that both national and state governments have/do such as collecting taxes

e - #)powers neither the federal or state government have (such as making a law that would prevent the establishment of religion)

1. concurrent powers
2. delegated powers
3. denied powers
4. implied powers
5. inherent powers

Answer 1

A: The first one is inherent powers. The Post Office is mentioned in Article 1 Section 8 and is the 7th clause down right in the constitution. It is a right given to the Federal Government to set up Post Offices.

B: The second one also comes from Article 1 Section 8. It is called the Elastic Clause and it allows the Federal Government to to add laws so it can carry out its duties. It is the last clause of Article 1 section 8. Things like highways and borders come under this clause. The answer is  4. Implied Powers.

C: Actually C is granted by the Constitution. Defense must be given to some governing body. This too is Article 1 Section 8. It is in the very first clause. Since it is in the constitution, the right is inherent. Two answers that are the same makes me very nervous, but when something is in the constitution there is no choice but to pick it as an inherent right.

D: Both state and federal governments can tax. These are concurrent powers.

E: The constitution prohibits any law that would show bias or support to an established religion. It is a denied power. This is straight out of Amendment 1.
