reserved powers
expressed powers
elastic powers
implied powers

Explanation:

In the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8 lists specific powers granted to Congress (like collecting taxes, coining money, declaring war). These are called expressed powers because they are explicitly stated (expressed) in the Constitution. Reserved powers are for states, implied powers are not explicitly stated but inferred, and elastic power refers to the necessary and proper clause (not the term for these specific listed powers).

Answer:

expressed powers
