The correct answer is expressed powers.

Within the US Constitution, expressed powers are ones that are given directly to the federal government. For example, Congress (the legislative branch) has the ability to collect taxes, regulate interstate commerece, and declare war. These expressed powers give a clear indication of what Congress can do in terms of making laws for American society. These are the opposite of implied powers, which are rights that are not directly written about in the Constitution.
