USHC 1.5

principle of limited government is
protected by the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights, including
democracy, republicanism,
federalism, the separation of
powers, the system of checks and
balances, and individual rights.

Delegated Powers
Powers given to the Federal Government
Reserved Powers
Powers kept by the states and people
Concurrent (Shared) Powers
Powers shared by both levels of gov.
Sovereignty is constitutionally divided
between a central authority and states.
From The Federalist, No. 45
The powers delegated by the
proposed Constitution to the
federal government, are few and
defined. Those which are to remain
in the State governments are
numerous and indefinite.
The former will be exercised principally on
external objects, as war, peace, negotiation,
and foreign commerce… The powers reserved
to the several States will extend to all the
objects which… concern the lives, liberties,
and properties of the people…
