  • Some powers, such as the power to levy duties on exports or prohibit the freedom of religion, speech, press, or assembly, are expressly denied to the National Government in the Constitution. 
  • Some powers are denied to the National Government because the federal system does not intend the National Government to carry out those functions.

  • Bill of Rights.
  • Cannot do anything to take away people's liberty.
