Expressed powers are powers of Congress specifically listed in the Constitution.
The American Constitution delegates all powers not specifically assigned to the Federal government to the States. This is know as the 'residual powers clause' and is outlined in Article I.
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: these powers are specifically listed in the Constitution
Enumerated powers are the powers that are specifically stated.
Enumerated powers are the powers explicitly granted to congress by the Constitution. powers that are specifically mentioned, or listed, in the Constitution
Expressed Powers
No, actually the reverse. The Constitution states that all powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved for the state.
The Constitution limits the power of government by specifically listing powers it does and does not have.
The powers forbidden to the US Congress (and Federal Government in general) are listed in the US Constitution in a very simply fashion. Congress is permitted those powers specifically stated (and implied) in the Constitution. Powers not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved for the States, or for the People. So what is permitted to the Congress is listed, but not what is forbidden.

Delegated powers of the National Gov. that are spelled out in the Constitution are called expressed powers, aka "enumerated powers"
