when you have a legal document actulally saying that different powers should be separated to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. Being vague because you didn't say which nation's constitution you were referring.
Three branches: The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
In the US Constitution, this document specifies what are the responsibilities of the federal government. Duties and responsibilities not specifically delegated to the federal government are therefore the responsibilities of the states.
Enumerated powers are the powers explicitly granted to congress by the Constitution. powers that are specifically mentioned, or listed, in the Constitution
Powers that are necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Constitution, but are not specifically outlined in the Constitution, are called implied powers. The opposite would be expressed powers.

Expressed powers are powers of Congress specifically listed in the Constitution.
Implied powers are congress exercised powers which are not given explicitly by the constitution. While express powers are the powers which is given by the constitution.
The Constitution states that expressed powers are the federal governments.
The three parts of government that are separated in the Constitution are known as the separation of powers. The three branches of the government, legislative, executive, and judicial, each have assigned duties, and each can exercise a series of checks and balances to assure, no one portion of the government usurps the powers of the others.
The federal powers are located in article six of the constitution.
Enumerated Powers are those delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. Unenumerated powers are those not stated in the Constitution, and reserved powers are those protected by the 9th and 10th amendments but which are not listed in the Constitution specifically.So Enumerated Powers is the answer you want.
