Final answer:

The Elastic Clause in Article 1/Section 8 of the Constitution grants implied powers to the national government, which are not explicitly listed but are assumed or implied to be present. These implied powers are logical extensions of the expressed powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The powers given to the national government specifically with the Elastic Clause (Article 1/Section 8 of the Constitution) are implied powers.

The Elastic Clause, also known as the necessary and proper clause, gives Congress the authority to make laws that are necessary and proper for carrying into execution the powers granted to the national government.

These implied powers are not explicitly listed in the Constitution but are assumed to be present as logical extensions of the expressed powers.
