The Constitution.

∙ 13y agoAccording to the US Constitution, the States have the power, and agreed to create a limited Federal government to do the things that the States could not do on their own.
Examples include providing for the common defense of all the States. Another is to regualate buying and selling between and among the States. Another is to make no law regarding religion.
The Federal Government started taking over when the need to prevent another Great Depression was great. Today, the Federal Government appears to be able to do anything it wants. Patriotic groups like the Teaparty aim to put limits on federal government excess, which they believe has ballooned totally out of control in the Obama administration.
