The federal government has the constitutional power to promote the general welfare, provide for the common defense, coin money and determine the value of that money, regulate trade between the states, and lay and collect taxes.

∙ 12y agoThe US Constitution lists all the powers of the Federal Government, like printing money, maintaining a postage system, patents and trademarks, protecting the borders and declaring war, and things like that that the states could not do alone. Can you imagine if each state had to have its own navy to protect their shores, or if one state declared war and another did not? Everything else, anything that didn't make the list in the Constitution, is left for the states to decide if they want to act, and if they don't, then its up to a church, a family or to an individual. If you don't see it listed in the Constitution, then it goes to the states.

Expressed Powers - powers for the Federal government that are not specifically stated in the Constitution. Implied Powers - powers for the federal government that are actually written down in the constitution. Reserved Powers - powers given to state government (basically the left-over powers that the Federal government isn't in charge of.)
