The branch of government that can establish a federal government is the legislative. This is done through the Congress which is given the power by the US constitution.
The system of checks and balances in the Constitution allows each of the three branches of government to limit the powers of the others. Also the separation of powers defines the responsibility of each branch so that there is no conflict between them.
The Founders of the U.S.A. intentionally created a Constitution and, more generally, a government, that could be adapted for the future especially through the amendment process: new discoveries and changing circumstances can make an impact on government by newly adopted constitutional amendments. Further, the three primary branches of the government, individually or working together, can foment change through processes laid down by the Founders.

The US Constitution.
A national government emerged first through the continental congress, an attempt by the colonies to jointly discuss grievances; and then under the first national government--the articles of confederation--as an attempt to keep some functioning relationship. Federalism sort of snowballed from there through the constitution, Hamiltonians/federalists, during the Civil War, and notably under FDR.

the Constitution of the united states of America
The national government derives its authority primarily from the Constitution, which establishes the framework for governance and delineates the powers granted to the federal government. Additionally, authority is reinforced through laws passed by Congress, judicial interpretations, and the consent of the governed, reflecting the principles of democracy and popular sovereignty. Ultimately, the legitimacy of the national government comes from the consent of the people, who elect representatives to exercise that authority on their behalf.
The US Constitution is a document that lays out the bylaws and principle this great nation was founded on. It also defines the structure of our government, including all kinds of procedures for passing and enforcing laws, powers and limits of the different branches of the government, and even explains how the Constitution itself can be changed when that is necessary. There have been 27 amendments to the Constitution so far. It is in effect, the proclamation by which The People literally founded The United States of America.
The national government is responsible for managing affairs that affect the entire country, including defense, foreign policy, monetary policy, and immigration. It regulates interstate commerce, enforces federal laws, and oversees national infrastructure. Additionally, it plays a key role in ensuring national security and protecting citizens' rights through the Constitution and federal laws.
