Answer 2

The Constitution is a set of restrictions and limitations on the Federal government. It's pretty clear; Article 1 Section 8 list 18 "Enumerated Powers" of the Congress, and the 9th and 10th Amendments plainly say "And no others!"

Answer 3

The US Constitution is not a long document, however, it makes clear the central theme that was to govern the new USA and its 13 new states. The document divides the powers of the Federal government into three and equal branches. The legislative, executive and judicial branches. The Constitution separates these branches and the intent of the Framers was to ensure that one branch did not gain a superior advantage over other branches. The document sets forth important powers that includes raising armies to protect the new republic and to impose tariffs as a source of funds. It gives the US Senate the power to declare wars and approve treaties with foreign nations. The House of Representatives is the "lower" house" but has powers concerning spending bills. The executive branch, headed by a president enforces all the US laws and is given powers regarding international relations. The Supreme Court insures that all laws and policies of the US meet the standards specified in the Constitution. The document also sets up basic citizen rights that the Federal government cannot breach. All powers not designated to the Federal government are the responsibility of the states that created the Constitution.
