Question

Powers shared by both the federal and state governments. Example: Taxation, law enforcement

denied power
concurrent power
implied power

Answer 1

The powers shared by both the federal and state governments are known as **concurrent powers**. Examples of concurrent powers include taxation, law enforcement, and the ability to borrow money.

Here's a brief explanation of the other terms you mentioned:

- **Denied Power**: These are powers that are expressly prohibited to either the federal government, state governments, or both, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.

- **Implied Power**: These are powers not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are necessary for the federal government to perform its enumerated powers. The necessary and proper clause (or elastic clause) allows for such powers to be interpreted.

So, in this context, the correct term for powers shared by both levels of government is **concurrent power**.
