Express powers: Powers that the Constitution explicitly grants the federal government. These include the powers to:
-Collect taxes
-Regulate interstate commerce
-Coin money, regulate currency, set standards of weights and measures
-Declare war
-Raise and maintain an army and navy

Implied powers: Based on the elastic clause, powers considered "necessary and proper" for carrying out the enumerated (or express) powers
For example, in 1791, Federalists in Congress argued that the creation of a national bank was "necessary and proper" for Congress to execute its enumerated powers to coin and borrow money and regulate currency. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) confirmed Congress's right to found this national bank.

Denied powers: Powers that the Constitution explicitly denies to the federal government. These include:
The writ of habeas corpus cannot be suspended unless in cases of rebellion or invasion, when deemed necessary to national safety.
No bill of attainder or ex post facto law can be passed.

"Supreme law of the land": the Constitution and federal laws take precedence over state laws

What is it called when the federal government delegates power to the state?

Federalism actually describes a system of government where some powers belong to the national government, and some powers belong to the state government. Federal systems must have at least two levels of government.

What are powers given to the states called?

The powers granted to the state governments are reserved powers. These are powers that are not given to the national government, but which are not denied to the states. These reserved powers are collectively known as the "police power" of the state.

What is the term used to describe when power is delegated by the national government to lower layers of government?

devolution, the transfer of power from a central government to subnational (e.g., state, regional, or local) authorities.
