In what three ways does the constitution deny powers to the national government?

First, the constitution denies some powers to the national government in so many words; expressly. Among them, congress may not levy duties on exports; prohibit freedom of religion, speech, press, or assembly; conduct illegal searches or seizures; nor deny to any person accused of a crime a speedy and public trial or a trial by jury. Second, several powers are denied to the national government because of the silence of the constitution. Powers to create a public school system for the nation, to enact uniform marriage and divorce laws, and to set up units of local government. Third, some powers are denied to the national government because of the federal system itself. Clearly the constitution does not intend that the national government should have any power to take action that would threaten the existence of that system.


What amendment says the government has only the powers that the Constitution gives it?

The Constitution Says Specifically: The Tenth amendment lists that the government only has certain powers that are listed in the constitution. The president only has the power to VETO (deny) a law or pass on a law. The other branches only have powers similar to what the president has to do. Basically the government has to pass laws for the people to follow that is all constitutional.


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.

Which amendment assures that Americans have unnamed rights?

U.S. Const., Amend. IX:"The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."U.S. Const., Amend. X:"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."These are considered residual rights clauses. While the federal government can govern supreme (by the Supremacy clause), it has to be deemed to have preempted State prerogatives of sovereignty to do so, where it is authorized to act within its powers in the Constitution explicitly--that is, through the Supremacy Clause the federal goverment can preempt some of the prerogatives of the States as dual sovereigns with the federal government. The federal government, being limited to rights and powers enumerated in the Constitution, can therefore be unassailable in the exercise of those enumerated rights and powers by an assertion of State's Rights.

How did the Louisiana purchase have a negative effect on the union?

The US Constitution states that any power that the Constitution does not expressly give to the federal government or does not expressly deny to the states belongs to the states or the people. The Constitution does not say that the President has the power to purchase land on behalf of the country. Pres. Jefferson defended his action by stating that since the Constitution gives the federal government the right to control federal land, it naturally follows that the federal government has the right to acquirefederal land.

The Ninth Amendment states that the Constitution does not deny or disparage other rights that belong to the people, even if they are not specifically mentioned. The Tenth Amendment states that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people. These amendments emphasize the protection of individual rights and the limitation of the federal government's authority.
