Powers to Federal Government Discussion Readings:
Ginsberg, et al., chapter 1 & 2 (pp. 2-65), the Declaration of Independence (pp. A1-A4), the Articles of Confederation (pp. A5-A10), the Constitution of the United States (pp. A11-A20), and Federalist 10 (pp. A30-A37). If you prefer, you may listen to Federalist 10 (the first link in the Videos to Watch section).

The authors of the text argue that “the framers sought to create a new government capable of promoting commerce and protecting property from radical state legislatures and populist forces hostile to the interests of the commercial and propertied classes” (Ginsberg et. al. 2019: 41).

In your initial post, please give two examples of specific powers the Constitution gives to the national government andtwo ways in which the framers limited the national government’s power under the Constitution. Discuss why the framers granted the two powers that you identify to the national government and why the framers placed such limits on the government they had just created? (around 350–450 words)

In your response posts, review the powers and/or the limits proposed by two of your classmates (uploaded as pictures, 100 words each )and assess how successful you believe the Constitutional language has been in empowering and/or limiting the federal government.

will upload reading later. One example of specific powers the Constitution gives to the national
government is delegated powers which gave the government the
ability to declare war, coin money, regulate commerce, and establish a
post office. Another example of specific powers the Constitution gives
to the national government is implied powers which gave Congress the
right to “make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying
into execution the foregoing powers, and other powers vested in the
government of the United States”.
One way the framers limited the national government’s power under
the constitution was by dividing the powers into three branches of
government (executive, legislative, and judicial). The second way the
framers limited the national government’s power under the
constitution was by giving each branch of government checks and
balances which gave each branch not only their own powers, but
powers over the other branches of government as well. The framers of
the constitution placed these limits on the national government so that
nobody would hold too much power.

Two of the powers which the Constitution gives the national
government are: 1) “to lay and collect Taxes…” and 2) “To borrow
Money on the credit of the United States” (Constitution Article |
Section 8). The framers limited the national government by:
1)Supremacy Clause stating that Constitution is “the supreme Law of
the Land”and 2)three branches to separate the power of
government(Article IV).
The first power I mentioned in previous paragraph related to taxation
is given to government because governments have to collect revenue
to maintain its coercion and avoid the failure of “extraction-coercion
cycle.” The other power about borrowing money on the credit of the
US is granted by the framers because the government need to borrow
money when the revenue raised from tax is less than those spent.
Supremacy clause can ensure that the power of national government is
limited under its supreme law. The system of checks and balances
formed by separation into three branches can eliminate the negative
outcomes of concentration of power.
