<u>Let's match each type of power with its definition</u>
- concurrent powers: <u>powers that both national and state governments have/do such as collecting taxes </u>. 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: <u>Powers specifically given to the national government such as establishing post offices.</u> These are also known as enumerated powers and are contained in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States.
- denied powers: <u>powers neither the federal or state government have (such as making a law that would prevent the establishment of religion). </u>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: <u>powers that are suggested and allowed due to the necessary and proper/elastic clause such as establishing the interstate highway system. </u>These powers are not explicitly included in the US Constitution but can be derived from others than are.
- inherent powers: <u> </u><u>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</u>. These are goverment powers which are not explicitly stated in a Constitution but are implicit in a sovereign state and for its rulers.
