What does article 1 section 8 list of the constitution?
Article 1, Section 8 lists the expressed powers of Congress.
What are the powers of Congress that are written into the Constitution called?
Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States lists eighteen "enumerated powers" of the Congress. The 9th and 10th Amendments, as part of the Bill of Rights, specifically limit the Congress from taking actions that are not explicitly authorized, stating that powers not listed are reserved to the People or to the States.
What does article 1 section 8 of the constitution mean?
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution enumerates, or specifies, the powers of the legislative branch of our government (the Congress). This is what Congress is able to do, no more, no less. To me, the most interesting of these powers is the ability to create & regulate money (i.e. its value). Sadly, Congress surrendered this power in 1913 when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Since that time, the value of the dollar has plummeted dramatically.
Article 1 of the constitution establishes the structure and functions of what branch?
Article 1 estabilished the legislative branch and other sections of article 1 estblished spell out the procedures for making laws, lists the type of laws congress may pass, and specify the powers that congress dose not have.
What document lists the expressed and implied powers that are given to Congress?
It would be impossible to list "implied powers," as they're flexible and designed to fit circumstances as they arise. Implied Powers are those not enumerated by the Constitution (but not prohibited by it, either), but necessary to carry out government functions and responsibilities that arespecifically mentioned.
