B. Reserved powers

Reserved powers (also residual powers or residuary powers) are the powers that are not given (or prohibited) by law to any organ of government. These powers exist because it is difficult for legislation to detail every act that is carried out by every part of government. In the United States, these powers lie with the state and local governments.
