∙ 14y agoI'll assume you are talking about the United States of America.
The powers of congress are defined in Article 1 of the Constitution. The Bill of Rights includes amendments 9 and 10. The Powers of the president are defined in Article 2.
The 9th amendment basically says that rights not explicitly given to the government remain with the people.
The 10th amendment basically says that roles and powers of government not explicitly given to the federal government remain with the states' governments.
Amendment IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X: he powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

∙ 8y agoThe bill of rights was not designed to limit Congress. That is all ready set out in the articles of the Constitution. The Bill of Rights tells us what the rights the people have. The founding fathers wanted to make sure they were written down so there was no question.
