What type of powers are specifically given to the federal government by the US Constitution?

  1. Implied powers

  2. Delegated, expressed or enumerated powers

  3. Concurrent powers

  4. Reserved powers

The correct answer is: Delegated, expressed or enumerated powers

The correct answer is B because these powers are explicitly stated in the US Constitution and include the power to declare war, regulate interstate commerce, and establish a postal system. Option A, implied powers, are not specifically listed in the Constitution and are instead derived from the necessary and proper clause. Option C, concurrent powers, are shared by both the federal and state governments. Option D, reserved powers, are granted to the states and not the federal government.
