Where do you find all of the powers of the federal government?

The simple answer is the U.S. Constitution.You can read the constitution online in many places.There is disagreement over whether Federal authority currently exceeds constitutional limits and the debate is renewed with many pieces of legislation.Much of the debate stems from the 10th Amendment to the Constitution which reads:The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.Read alone, this amendment limits the powers of the Federal government substantially. However, opponents of this point of view often cite Article I Section 8 (on Congressional Powers), which the final paragraph gives the congress the power:To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.In other words, they can make laws which help them carry out their enumerated powers.This brings up the difference between expressed powersand implied powers.Expressed powers are powers which are specifically to the government by the Constitution. Regulating foreign commerce, declaring war and establishing post offices are all expressed powers.Implied powers are powers which are not specifically given to the government, but which the government has assumed, and which have passed judicial review by the Supreme Court. Chartering a bank (currently the Federal Reserve), and creating Social Security are examples of implied powers.If ObamaCare is upheld by the Supreme Court, then regulating healthcare will become an implied power.
