In the [[United States]] and many other Federalist Nations, '''concurrent powers''' are powers held by both the states and the [[federal government]] and may be exercised simultaneously within the same |
|||
territory and in relation to the same body of citizens. This is contrasted with [[delegated powers]] and [[reserved powers]]. Some of the concurrent powers enjoyed by both the federal and state governments are: the power to tax, make roads, protect the environment, create lower courts and borrow money. It is important to remember that where there is a discrepancy, commonwealth powers prevail. This was seen in the (Australian) Franklin Dam Case 1983.Concurrent powers are federal government and the states have powers. |
|||
A common misunderstanding is that concurrent powers are shared powers between the central and state government. This is a misunderstanding, concurrent powers are a collection of powers that the states and [[federal government]] have in common, not shared. |
