Axiom of power set

title: Axiom of power set
text: In mathematics, the axiom of power set is one of the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms of axiomatic set theory. It guarantees for every set x the existence of a set P , the power set of x , consisting precisely of the subsets of x . By the axiom of extensionality, the set P is unique. The axiom of power set appears in most axiomatizations of set theory. It is generally considered uncontroversial, although constructive set theory prefers a weaker version to resolve concerns about predicativity.
