Enumerated powers

/ɪˈnuməˌreɪtəd ˈpaʊərz/ noun phrase

Definition

The specific powers explicitly granted to Congress by the Constitution, primarily listed in Article I, Section 8. These include the power to tax, regulate interstate commerce, coin money, establish post offices, and declare war.

Etymology

From Latin 'enumerare' (to count out or list). The Founders deliberately listed these powers to create a federal government of limited, defined authority rather than general governmental power.

Kelly Says

The Founders were so worried about creating another tyrannical government that they literally made a shopping list of what Congress could do—but this seemingly simple list has been stretched to cover everything from regulating wheat grown in your backyard to NASA's space program through creative constitutional interpretation!
