Delegated Powers

• The delegated powers are powers that are granted specifically to the federal government in the Constitution. These are also known as enumerated powers. Examples of powers that the federal government has sole control over include the ability to declare war, control immigration, admit new states, establish bankruptcy law and conduct foreign relations.
  
  

Reserved Powers

• Some powers are reserved specifically for the states and the federal government has no power over them. Powers that the states control include establishing marital laws, establishing contract and will laws, supervising and establishing public schools, providing local governments and regulating intrastate commerce.
  
  

Concurrent Powers

• Concurrent powers are powers that the federal and state governments share with each other. Both states and the federal government have the right to tax, create courts, establish bankruptcy law, build and maintain roads, pay debts and charter banks.
  
  

Implied Powers

• The federal government also has implied powers that are not specifically established in the Constitution. The Constitution grants these through the passage stating the federal government has the right to make any laws that are deemed "necessary and proper" to accomplish the constitutional responsibilities.
