    The document discusses expressed and implied powers of Congress. Expressed powers are explicitly stated in the Constitution, like taxing and borrowing money. Implied powers are not explicitly stated but are logically deduced from expressed powers, such as establishing a minimum wage and prohibiting mail fraud. The document provides examples of implied powers and asks students to match them with the expressed powers they believe justify each implied power.

    Expressed and Implied

    powers
    Expressed Powers:
    Explicitly/directly written in the Constitution

    No debate over the authority of Congress to act on them

    Like a superhero like Superman:

    Verbally says what he can do

    Physically demonstrates that he can

    Not like a more mysterious superhero who hides their abilities and
    surprised those they get in a fight with.
    Implied Powers:
    Many of the things Congress does that are not specifically outlined in
    the Constitution.

    The progression of time, the enlarged size of government, and the


    rulings of the Supreme Court over 200 years has resulted in the
    consensus that Congress also has implied powers.

    These powers are related to the expressed powers but are not
    specifically outlined. Implied powers are logically deduced from express
    powers.
    Constitutional Powers of Congress:
    Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution - Congress shall have the
    power to . . .

    (Read Article I, Section 8)

    Discuss in your groups:

    What are the most unexpected powers of Congress?
