Expressed: Powers given to Congress Implied: Not spelled out but given or "implied" Reserved: Not expressed in the Constitution and are granted to the states
The doctrine of expressed power implies that powers not specifically listed in the Constitution will not be given to the national government, but will be reserved for the states.
Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States lists eighteen "enumerated powers" of the Congress. The 9th and 10th Amendments, as part of the Bill of Rights, specifically limit the Congress from taking actions that are not explicitly authorized, stating that powers not listed are reserved to the People or to the States.

10. 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.
The doctrine of expressed power implies that powers not specifically listed in the Constitution will not be given to the national government, but will be reserved for the states.
Enumerated powers are clearly spelled out in the Constitution. These are specific powers granted to Congress, such as the power to coin money, regulate commerce, declare war, and raise an army and navy.
The power that is reserved to the states.
No, actually the reverse. The Constitution states that all powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved for the state.
The power that is reserved to the states--NovaNET :p
The powers forbidden to the US Congress (and Federal Government in general) are listed in the US Constitution in a very simply fashion. Congress is permitted those powers specifically stated (and implied) in the Constitution. Powers not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved for the States, or for the People. So what is permitted to the Congress is listed, but not what is forbidden.
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.)
