The Importance Of Granted Powers In The United States

Congressmen have a lot of powers that they can use that are called the granted powers. These powers came from Article 8 in the Constitution. Such examples are making established Postal Roads and Post Offices, to declaring war if needed to, and making rules concerning captures on land and water. They also can maintain a navy, and regulate land and the naval forces. They control a lot of military. To fund these things that money comes from our taxes because the government can send a federal income tax. They create the flow of money by passing laws on businesses and companies.
Now the congress power, declaring war they get this power because the president has to ask permission/authority to declare war, and another reason is because the founding

fathers of this law did this in a particular reason to slow down the decision making so the war would be most likely not to happen. They have a privilege to maintain a navy and regulate land forces. Which they get that right because after the National Security Act of 1947 Thee Navy Department and the War Department transformed into a solo Department of Defense below the Secretary of Defense, which after this it leaves us with the Department of the air force that we have today.
Congress men do have a lot of control but they can’t have too much, so this is why we people deny them of these powers. As the sixth amendment state’s RIGHTS OF ACCUSED IN CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS is a big law that is used all the time today every time someone gets arrested. The other one they deny is the “ex post facto” The ex post facto makes it impossible for your past actions made. Final one they cannot arrest you, or change your state rights.
Rights of Accused in Criminal Prosecutions means by when you get arrested you are guaranteed a Speedy public trial, and it says so in the sixth amendment that “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed,”
Another denied power to the congress as it says in Amendment 10 “The powers not substituted to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people” The power of the state rules over the congress.
The Congress has a lot more powers then they are denied, they are granted such powers as declaring war, making post offices, maintain a navy, regulate the economy, and so much more. They get denied some powers liked suspending rights of accused criminals. They also get denied changing the laws of the states. State Rights such as marriage, education, voting, driving licenses. And final they cannot arrest someone for past before it has come illegal.
