Question

powers that are shared between congress and states are referred to as

○ expressed powers
○ enumerated powers
○ implied powers
○ concurrent powers

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Expressed/enumerated powers: These are powers specifically granted to Congress (e.g., power to tax) by the Constitution, not shared with states.
• Implied powers: These are powers Congress has that are not explicitly stated but are implied by the enumerated powers (using the "necessary and proper" clause), not shared with states.
• Concurrent powers: These are powers shared by both the federal government (Congress) and the states (e.g., power to tax, establish courts). This matches the description of powers shared between Congress and states.

Answer:

D. concurrent powers
