Final Answer:
The correct answer is: Enumerated powers are specifically granted to the national government in the first 17 clauses of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Reserved powers belong to the state governments as stated in the Tenth Amendment.
Enumerated powers are the powers that are specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution. These powers are listed in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Some examples of enumerated powers include the power to coin money, the power to declare war, and the power to raise and maintain an army and navy.
Reserved powers are the powers that are not granted to the federal government by the Constitution. These powers are reserved for the states. Some examples of reserved powers include the power to regulate intrastate commerce, the power to establish and maintain public schools, and the power to define and punish crimes.
The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution states that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This means that the states have all of the powers that are not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution.
The system of government in the United States is called federalism. Federalism is a system of government in which power is shared between the national government and the state governments. The Constitution divides power between the national government and the state governments in a number of ways. One way is through the system of enumerated powers and reserved powers.
