Explain the difference between enumerated and implied powers, and give examples of each.

What will be an ideal response?

The Constitution distributes powers that are enumerated, or specifically listed, and implied for the national government's three branches-legislative, judicial, and executive. Enumerated powers include Congress's authority to make laws, oversight of interstate and foreign commerce, the money system, general welfare, and national defense. Congress's implied powers-powers that are not specifically described but may be interpreted to be necessary to fulfill enumerated powers-are validated through the necessary and proper clause, or the elastic clause, which allows the national government to stretch its enumerated authority.
