The Expressed, Enumerated, or Reserved Powers of the Federal Government. Other Powers that the Federal Government derives from the Constitution are called "Implied" Powers. This is often a 'gray area' that is settled by the Courts.
Statements are not implied; implications are not stated.
The purpose of the constitution was to link the states into a stronger national or federal government.
Federalism means the division of power between the national government and the states. The Constitution does not clearly define, however, the areas in which these powers are exercised. Keeping in mind that the framers were determined to strengthen the national government, it is not surprising that the powers belonging to the states were left vague.
A constitutional republic is such a system. The US Constitution specifies clearly that all powers not specifically given to Federal government are retained by the states.
The U.S. Constitution specifies what the national government is allowed to do, and it states that any powers not granted to the national government therein are reserved to the states or the people.
The answer is yes. The US system is a Federal system. It depends on both states and the National governments to form the Federal Government. The states ratified and created the National government thru the US Constitution. The National Government is obligated by the US Constitution to protect the states and continue the states. Each citizen of the USA is a citizen of a state and the National government. In the USA system (our system) neither the states nor the National government can exist without the other level of government. All levels of government exist by the just consent of the governed (the people).
Nope, the US Constitution clearly states the freedom of belief.
The national government represents all states.
