Question

Identify various government powers and functions:

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Constitution grants numerous powers to Congress, including the power to:

levy and collect taxes,

coin money and regulate its value,

provide punishment for counterfeiting,

establish post offices and roads,

promote progress of science by issuing patents,

create federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court,

Exclusive powers are those powers reserved to the federal government or the states. Concurrent powers are powers shared by the federal government and the states. Only the federal government can coin money, regulate the mail, declare war, or conduct foreign affairs.

Delegated (sometimes called enumerated or expressed) powers are specifically granted to the federal government in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. This includes the power to coin money, to regulate commerce, to declare war, to raise and maintain armed forces, and to establish a Post Office.
