The U.S. Constitution outlines several powers that are explicitly granted to the federal government, including the power to levy taxes, regulate commerce, declare war, and maintain armed forces. Additionally, it establishes the framework for the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, delineating their respective powers and responsibilities. The Constitution also includes the Necessary and Proper Clause, allowing Congress to make laws needed to execute its enumerated powers. Finally, the Tenth Amendment reserves powers not delegated to the federal government for the states and the people.

Does the constitution gives the government unlimited power?

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.)


Difference between express powers and explicit powers?

Do you mean expressed powers and implied powers? Expressed powers are explicit in the Constitution meaning that they are written down in the section outlining the powers of Congress, the President and the Judicial Branch. Implied powers are powers that are implied in the Constitution. For example, the Constitution makes no mention of regulating radio waves (since there was no radio when the Constitution was written) but since they have the power to regulate commerce between states, if you consider radio waves going over state lines, then they also have the power to regulate radio waves. Also, radio is a business so it is commerce. This helps our Constitution be flexible and still used today.

Why are not all of the powers of congress written down in the constitution?

When the Constitution was adopted in 1789, the Founders couldn't forsee every possible thong that the Congress could be called upon to do, such as regulate the production of Cars (which didn't exist back then). They added the implied powers so that future Congresses could adapt to the times.
