There are many powers not given to the Federal government in the Constitution. Specifically it states that any power not specifically granted to the government will be reserved for the States (interpreted as for the people).
The states were given all powers not delegated to the federal government in the Constitution. However, there are implied powers that the federal government can use.
The United States Constitution spells out a number of powers that belong to the Federal government. It also specifies that any powers not given to the Federal government are reserved for the states.
No, the constitution does not give unlimited power, in fact it gives only limited powers to the government. There are 3 types of powers: Expressed, Implied, and Reserved. Expressed Powers - powers for the Federal government that are not specifically stated in the Constitution. Implied Powers - powers for the federal government that are actually written down in the constitution. Reserved Powers - powers given to state government (basically the left-over powers that the Federal government isn't in charge of.)
Limited Government
Reserved powers are the powers given to a state. According to the Constitution, the authority to execute these powers lie within the states and not the federal government.
Those powers are reserved by the people
Any and all powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved for the people and the states.
