b) reserved
c) implied
d) expressed

the ________ system is where one central government has all the power over sub - national governments.

• 2 points

a) federal
b) confederal
c) unitary
d) autocratic

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Enumerated (expressed) powers are explicitly granted to the federal government in the U.S. Constitution. Implied powers are derived from the Necessary and Proper Clause, also for the federal government. Reserved powers are set aside for state governments by the 10th Amendment, so they are not granted to the federal government.
2. For the second question: A federal system splits power between central and sub-national governments. A confederal system gives most power to sub-national entities. A unitary system concentrates all power in the central government over sub-national bodies. Autocratic refers to a single ruler holding power, not a government structure between levels.

Answer:

1. B) reserved
2. C) unitary
