What Are the 3 Inherited Powers of the State?
Every sovereign state in the world, including the United States, has inherited rights, called inherent powers. There are three inherent powers of the state: police power, eminent domain and power of taxation. They are intended to help the country operate effectively.

Inherent Powers
-
The inherent powers of a state are powers inherited when a country gains independence. The United States achieved this feat through warfare with Great Britain. A constitution was created, and in the Tenth Amendment, the American inherent powers of state were declared. These rights do not need constitutional approval to be carried out.
Police Power
-
The state government has the right to restrain and regulate liberty and property and create laws to improve the safety and welfare of its people. This power lies solely with the government, but can be passed on in part to local governments. However, this can only be done with a valid delegation of legislative power. Property taken using police power is destroyed if it is harmful or could be used to cause harm.
-
Eminent Domain
-
Eminent domain gives the government the power to take privately owned land or property without the permission of the landowner, known as condemnation. However, appropriate monetary compensation must be exchanged for the land. The property taken can be used by the government or passed on to a third party; either way, it must be used to serve a public purpose, such as a new highway. Only the state can exercise eminent domain.
Power of Taxation
-
Taxation is the power of the state to collect taxes to raise revenue essential to the administering of government. With the power of taxation comes the inherent power to spend the revenues for general welfare, and to meet the goals and objectives of government.
