more than three
There are more than three limitations on Congress's power. From a Constitutional perspective, Congress may be in checked by the President's veto power over Congressional bills and it may also be overruled by the Courts. There are also the practical limitations of what the budget or public opinion allows.
The three limitations on the power of congress to deny peoples rights can be found in section 9 of the Constitution. The limitations are; slave trade, habeas cobras and bills of attainer.
Among the explicit powers granted to the Congress by the United States Constitution is taxation. Congress has the power to assess and collect taxes/duties as enumerated by Article I Section 8.

Congress couldn't tax or regulate commerce among states primarily due to the limitations imposed by the Articles of Confederation, which created a weak federal government. Under the Articles, Congress lacked the authority to impose taxes or regulate trade, leading to economic instability and interstate disputes. This inefficiency prompted the Constitutional Convention, ultimately resulting in the Constitution, which granted Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce and levy taxes.

power to administer the laws directly if it chooses to do so
Congress is limited in its powers and authority by the Constitution, which outlines specific things it cannot do. For example, Congress cannot pass ex post facto laws, suspend the writ of habeas corpus, or grant titles of nobility. These limitations help ensure a balance of power and protect individual rights.
