The power of the national government to declare war is an example of an expressed power. Another example is the power to levy taxes.

Chief Justice Marshall set the precedent of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison.

This established the Court as the final arbiter of the Constitution and gave it the authority to check the powers of the other branches of government.
