Congressional Powers Read Article I, Section 8 and number each delegated power in a concise, bullet-point or numbered fashion; paraphrase as much as possible. (There are 18 delegated or enumerated powers) Example: --1. To lay and collect taxes

Most powerful clause? The Elastic Clause: “[Congress may] make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers...” Federalists wanted this asserted to expand the reach of national authority. Loose interpretations of the Constitution use this clause to expand the power of the Federal government. Strict Interpretations of the Constitution argue that the use of this clause should be very limited.
