The reasons as to why cooperative federalism emerge in the 1930s this was a Great Depression forced the federal and state governments to work together for economic recovery. Federal Power is a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units.

The Federal Government has limited power over all fifty states while State Governments have the power to regulate within their state boundaries.  State powers are also limited in the sense that states cannot make laws that conflict with the laws of the federal government.

The U.S. government had and have three types of federal powers. These powers are;

• Expressed power.
• Implied power.
• Inherent power.

Expressed powers. This is also called Delegated and they are powers that are specifically granted to the federal government in Article I and Section 8 of the Constitution. This includes the power to coin money. Power to regulate commerce. Power to declare war and also Power to raise and maintain armed forces and also power to establish a Post Office.

Implied Powers. Implied powers are political powers granted to the United States government that are not explicitly stated in the Constitution. They are granted because similar powers have set a precedent. These implied powers are necessary for the function of any given governing body.

Inherent powers. This are powers held by a sovereign state. This are an authority possessed without being derived from another.

• Powers are in the Constitution while some are simply those and exercised by any government of a sovereign country.
• The major strength of federalism is the ability of the local or regional governments to take care of matters concerning the region.
