AP US Government
Unit 1 – Foundations of American Democracy
Topic 1.7
What's a significant difference between enumerated powers of the federal government and reserved powers for states under the Tenth Amendment?
Enumerated powers refer to those that the state governments have, while reserved powers pertain to ones held by the local governments.
Enumerated powers are explicitly granted to federal government by Constitution while reserved powers are those not specifically given to federal or denied to states.
Reserved powers were established first followed by enumerated ones as an amendment in Constitution.
All enumerated and reserved powers apply exclusively to federal government with no distinction in their application or distribution.
