Fix . Inside the ambient transitive model , the Axiom of power set makes the collection of constructible subsets of a set. For each such subset , choose the least stage of the constructible hierarchy at which appears. The Axiom schema of replacement and the supremum of a set of ordinals give an ordinal bounding all these stages; enlarge so that .
Nowis definable over with parameter . It therefore belongs to the definable power set . This set contains exactly the subsets of that belong to the constructible universe, so it witnesses the Axiom of power set in . Therefore Power Set.
