Also called enumerated powers, these powers are delegated to the National government in so many words, yet specifically spelled out in the Constitution. Most are found in Article 1, Section 8, where Congress is given 27 specific powers.
Expressed Powers
The powers held by the states in the federal system. These powers are notgiven to the national government, and at the same time the Constitution does not forbid these powers from the states.
Those powers that both the national government and state possess and exercise. Constitution does not grant exclusively to national government, yet does not deny to states at same time. Are held and exercised seperately and simultaneously.

The National government is one of delegated powers, powers that are expressly granted to it in the Constitution. The three delegated powers are expressed, implied, and inherent
Delegated Powers
-Raise taxes -Establish foreign policy -Establish and enforce copyright laws -Establish postal system
Those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution but are assumed by powers that are stated, such as the expressed powers. Basis for this power is found in the expressed power, the Necessary and Proper Clause.
