why do enumerated powers exist?
Enumerated powers are powers directly written in the constitution. Enumerated Powers of the Congress include: â¢ Collect taxes â¢ Borrow money â¢ Regulate trade â¢ Establish Bankruptcy codes â¢ Coin money â¢ Establish post offices â¢ Provide a military â¢ Provide a militia â¢ Make all necessary and proper laws â¢ Declare War.
Enumerated powers are the powers explicitly put forward by the Constitution. Most of the enumerated powers for the Legislative Branch are in Article I Section 8 of the â¦ US Constitution. I lifted these directly from Wikipedia. There are more elsewhere in Article I below.
