C
Only implied powers allow the government to make laws.

Explanation

Enumerated powers are specifically listed in the Constitution, such as Congress’s power to coin money. Implied powers are not stated directly; they are inferred as necessary to carry out the enumerated powers, including through the Necessary and Proper Clause. Therefore, only enumerated powers are directly stated in the Constitution.
