Powers which are granted to the states by the Constitution?

Answer 1

To lay and collect taxes, duties, impost and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfareof the united states, to borrow money on the credit of the united states,to regulate commerce with foreign nations, to establish a uniform rule of natualization. also known as reserved powers.

Answer 2

The powers of the states are not defined, as the Constution is a LIMITING power on what the Federal Government can do, and is allowed to do. All other powers are retained by the states, and the people.

Answer 3

This may be a case of straining at gnats, but I believe that technically, the Constitution does not 'grant' any powers to the states. The Constitution grants various powers to the federal government and outlines some of the powers that are retained by the states. Any powers not addressed by the Constitution are reserved by the states. In other words, the states (or The People, indirectly) possess all authority associated with any nation, and The People grant the powers necessary for the establishment of the federal government. I think this is a VERY important distinction; we are not slaves to the Constitution, but the Constitution is the instrument that The People used to establish a federal government. The People retain the right to change any part of the Constitution, independent even of the federal government itself.
