  2. DIVISION OF POWER • Federalism is the division of powers between National and regional (state) governments • Government has a division of power: 3 types of powers • EXPRESSED POWERS: spelled out in the Constitution. These powers are not debatable. • IMPLIED POWERS: not spelled out in the Constitution. These are reasonably suggested. • Necessary and proper clause: congress has the power to make all laws that are necessary and proper for America • INHERENT POWERS: powers that belong to the National government. Not expressly written but all National Governments have them

ALL OF US NEED TO BE REMINDED THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT CREATE THE UNITED STATES; THE STATES CREATED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.” • – RONALD REAGAN
