What is a delegated power?
Delegated powers are those that are specifically granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution. These powers are listed in the document and include things like coining money, declaring war, and regulating interstate commerce. Any powers not expressly given to the federal government are reserved for the states.
What are 3 ways that the Constitution denies power to the National or Federal Government?
1. The Constitution denies some powers to the National Government in so many words - expressly. Among them are the powers to levy duties on exports; to deny freedom of religion, speech, press, or assembly; to conduct illegal searches or seizures; and to deny to any person a speedy and public trial, or a trial by jury. 2. Several powers are denied to the National Government because of the silence of the Constitution. Recall, the National Government is a government of delegated powers; it has only those powers the Constitution gives to it. Among the many powers not granted to the National Government are these: to create a public school system for the nation, to enact uniform marriage and divorce laws, and to set up units of local government. The Constitution says nothing that would give the National Government the power to do any of these things expressly, implicitly, or inherently. 3. Some powers are denied to the National Government because the Constitution established a federal system for the United States. Clearly the Constitution does not intend that the National Government should have any power to do those things that would threaten the existence of that system. For example, in the exercise of its power to tax, Congress cannot tax any of the States or their local units in the carrying out of their governmental functions. If it could, it would have the power to destroy (tax out of existence) one or more, or all, of the States.
how the government divide the power between the states and federal government?
The constitution gives the federal government certain powers. The federal government can ONLY exercise a power which is explicitly granted to it in the constitution. The Constitution also lists a few specific things that states are not allowed to do, presumably because the founders didn't want ANY level of government (state or federal) to be able to do it, or because they wanted it to be reserved exclusively to the federal government. The 10th Amendment says that all powers not expressly granted to the federal government, and not expressly prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states or the people.
The Constitution makes no mention of a national bank How did each man justify his position on constitutional grounds?
Alexander Hamilton had a National Bank accepted into the federal government by the Necessary and Proper clause. There, it states implied powers, which are basically what the name is. There are certain things in the Constitution that imply that topics such as the National Bank (Section 8 of the Constitution) would be constitutional if necessary for carrying out the Government at the time.
The national government?

What is the US Constitution?
The Constitution of the United States of America is the fundamental blueprint of the US government system, and governs the relationship between citizens ("the people"), the constituent states, and the national government. It lays out a framework of government, consisting of a representative federal system whereby sovereignty is shared between the states and the national government, and details how the federal government is to be set up and run. It also outlines how power is to be shared between the federal government, the states, and the people. The Preamble to the Constitution can be seen as a statement of ideals and goals for the nation and its government system, and is used to guide interpretation of the rest of the Constitution. One of the more unusual features of the Constitution (particularly for the time period it was written in), is that is a limited government model: government is only allowed to do things explicitly designated as powers granted to it (or, powers which must follow to do something explicitly granted). That is, government does not start out with the ability to do anything, and then is forbidden to do things. Instead, it starts out with the ability to do NOTHING, and then is given the power to specific tasks. The People start out with the power to do ANYTHING, and then delegate to the government the ability to restrict these actions on a limited basis. This was virtually unique at the time, whereby most government systems (and political science theories of governance) presumed the opposite, that ultimate power (should) resided in the government, not the governed. ** not to be confused with the ship named USS Constitution (aka "Old Ironsides") built in 1797.
What were the bad things about the constitution?

Why did Alexander Hamilton argue that the Constitution gave the US government the power to create a national bank?
The Constitution gives Congress power to do useful things. This does not constitute a dangerous interpretation of the Constitution. Powers not specifically given in the Constitution can be implied.
What was the significance of grants and denials of power in the US Constitution?
