What do congress do under the expressed powers granted to it by the constitution?
regulate interstate trade
How did each of john marshall's 3 landmark decisions change the power of the supreme court?
Gibbons v. Ogden was the landmark decision which Supreme Court held that the power to regulate interstate commerce was actually granted to the Congress by Commerce Clause in Article I of the Constitution.
Can Congress regulate trade with other nations?
The Constitution authorizes Congress to regulate trade:with foreign nationsbetween stateswith "Indian Tribes" (Native American Nations)These are among the expressed powers of Congress under the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3).
Particular powers of the congress that are listed in article 1 are often called the?
enumerated powers. These are the powers specifically granted to Congress by the Constitution, such as the power to tax, regulate commerce, or declare war.
Has the National government abused its powers in its relations with the states?
Absolutely. In almost every aspect. For example: The interstate commerce clause is used as a catch-all for almost any legislation the federal government wants to enact. Take the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. They are granted their powers from the interstate commerce clause. The reasoning is that guns are bought and sold in interstate commerce. So, If this is a good reason to form an entire beurocratic entity, why do we not have a Bureau of Apples, Tennis Rackets, and Doorknobs? After all, aren't these things also sold interstate? Why is there justification for one because of the "catch-all" of interstate commerce, but not any other item that is also sold interstate? Just one of hundreds of examples of the federal government abusing It's powers.
