enumerated powers expressly given to the national government by the us constitution? HELP?

Read the Constitution. It's not long and its not difficult to understand. Know the backbone of your own nations code of law. I will give you a hint. Pay particular attention to Article I, Section 8. But read the thing. If you do you will be a part of a tiny 10 or less percent that actually know the limits of government. You will be part of an elite few who can actually speak intelligently about your rights and the governments responsibilities. It's the shortest constitution in the world and if your can read your face book updates the US constitution is probably less reading.

Enumerated powers are those powers that are specifically mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. For example, Article I, Section 8 grants the U.S. Congress certain powers such as coining money, regulating interstate trade and commerce, declaring war, raising an army and navy and to establish laws of immigration.

Many enumerated rights are also listed in the Bill of Rights. The reason there is a Bill of Rights is that a majority of the colonies were unwilling to accept the Constitution (to ratify it) without a specific, enumerated list of rights which they feared would not be respected if they weren't specifically included within the Constitution. So, the first 10 amendments were added and the Constitution was ratified by the colonies.

According to the 10th amendment, all powers not enumerated by the Constitution are left to the states to decide. In this way, establishing rules for marriage, abortion, driving cars, education, etc. were left to the states to decide. This system is called federalism. It's where two governments rule over the same geographic area.

This system is called federalism. It's where two governments rule over the same geographic region. The Constitution establishes these two governments as the federal government and the states. Enumerated powers are those powers granted to the federal government, and make it so it has just enough power to create and maintain a stable infrastructure, but not enough power to take away the liberties of the states and the people.

There is no such thing.

The Constitution says what it says.

That enumerated-delegated-reserved-magic-super powers thing is bullshit.
