Expressed, Implied, Inherent, Coherent, and Reserved Powers

American Government

Expressed Powers

Are powers clearly written in the U.S. Constitution that the federal government is allowed to use.

Implied Powers

Are powers the federal government has that aren't directly stated in the Constitution but are allowed because they help carry out expressed powers.

Inherent Powers

Powers that the national government has just because it exists as a sovereign country (naturally belonging)

Concurrent Powers

Are powers that both the federal and state governments can use at the same time.

Reserved Powers

Are powers that the Constitution does not give to the federal government and does not deny to the states—so they belong to the states.
