Implied powers are powers not given to the government directly through the constitution, but are implied. These powers fall under the Elastic Clause in Section 8 of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. This document lets the government create “necessary and proper” programs/laws and retain them, such as creating the Air Force. The Air Force is an implied power because the constitution did not give the power of the Air Force to the federal government, because airplanes didn’t even exist.
Delegated powers are Expressed powers given to one branch of government by the Constitution, which are assigned to another government agency with express consent of the first. For example, Congress delegating certain powers to the President.
The Supremacy Clause means that the constitution (federal government) is the ultimate law in the United States. Nothing can conflict with the constitution. No laws passed by the states can contradict federal law because federal law will win every time. This clause was used in the McCulloch v. Maryland case. State of Maryland had a desire to limit the powers of the federal government by taxing notes that originated outside state lines. When James McCulloch refused to pay the tax and the court eventually went before the Supreme Court. The Court decided that the Second Bank of the United States was "necessary and proper" for the federal government to exercise its duties. Therefore, the bank was constitutional and the state of Maryland could not tax its activities. The federal government sought of in away keep states from attacking individual constitutional rights.
