Implied Powers Effects

Introduction to Implied Powers Effects

The principle of implied powers has significantly affected the development of the U.S. system of government. Implied powers have allowed the federal government of the United States to levy income taxes, conscript armies, and organize a national postal system. Every power granted to the branches of the national government by the Constitution has been expanded through the principle of implied powers, resulting in a strong, centralized federal government.” (1)
