Question

limitation on the power of cities, preventing them from passing ordinances that are explicitly prohibited by state law and from passing ordinances that by implication may violate state law is called_________

Answer 1

Implicit or explicit prohibitions on city ordinance power is the correct answer.

State statutes and constitutions are in charge of regulating the power of a city to create ordinances. By doing so, they prevent cities from creating laws that contradict the state law. In other words, implicit or explicit prohibitions on city ordinance power is the way found to limit city power.
