Implied Powers in the United States

Implied Powers in the Legislative Process

Powers of government not explicitly expressed in the Constitution but held to be implicit in the expressed powers due to being “necessary and proper” to carry out those expressed powers. The extent of Congress’s implied powers has long been a matter of political controversy between those who desire a narrowly limited government and those who prefer more expansive government powers.
