What does article 1 section 8 of the constitution mean?

Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution enumerates, or specifies, the powers of the legislative branch of our government (the Congress). This is what Congress is able to do, no more, no less.

Since that time, the value of the dollar has plummeted dramatically.
