Writing of the U.S. Constitution
Expressed powers are powers written down for Congress in the Constitution.
No. The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States. The second constitution was the US Constitution of 1789, which is still the constitution of the United States in operation today.

The Confederation Congress had no power to put down rebellions.
It allowed congress to do things they the couldn't when they had the Articles of Confederation around. Such as raise taxes and have natural rights.

The constitution actually gave power to the congress the articles did not give to much power
The Articles of Confederation was the early U.S. constitution (1781 - 89) under the government by the Continental Congress, replaced in 1787 by the United States Constitution. It provided for a confederation of sovereign states and gave the Congress power to regulate foreign affairs, war, and the postal service, to control Indian affairs, and to borrow money.
Articles of Confederation
No. One of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation was that it made no provision for a federal court system. Article III of the US Constitution, which replaced the Articles of Confederation, required that Congress establish the Supreme Court. In other words, the Constitution said the government had to have a supreme court, but didn't directly create one. It left that task to Congress.
