The People put the Constitution in place, and The People give power to it.

In the U.S., the Congress has the power to make Federal Laws. The President may sign, or veto, or allow the bill to become law without his/her signature. If he/she vetoes the bill, the Congress may vote to overturn the veto, if there are enough votes to do so, in which case the bill becomes law without the President's signature. When a bill has become law, the Supreme Court may decide whether the law is constitutional or not i.e., whether it is within the authority of the federal government as established in the Constitution. If the Supreme Court finds that the law is unconstitutional, they may overturn the law. No one but the Congress has the power to make federal law. Of course, the states have the power to make laws under their constitutions, and the process is similar to the federal process.

the laws give the government power

The people give the government its powers. This is one of the foundational principles of the U.S. Constitution:

Limited Government: Since the people give government its power, government itself is limited to the power given to it by them. In other words, the US government does not derive its power from itself. It must follow its own laws and it can only act using powers given to it by the people.
