*ALL* powers are reserved to the states or the people (10th Amendment) except the enumerated powers from Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. To Those enumerated powers, Article 1 Section 9 stipulates certain exceptions to the powers listed in the previous section:

1. Congress could not limit the slave trade until 1808.

2. The Writ of Habeas Corpus can't be suspended unless in times of rebellion.

3. No Bill of Attainder law can be passed and No Ex-post Facto law can be passed.

3a (No direct tax can be laid (this limitation removed by the 16th Amendment))

4. No tax on state exports can be laid.

5. No preferences of one state over another can be laid in tax or regulation policy.

6. No tax money can be spent except by an explicit law passed by congress.

7. No titles of nobility may be granted.

In addition, the Bill of Rights can be read as limitations on Federal powers as well.

The powers forbidden to the US Congress (and Federal Government in general) are listed in the US Constitution in a very simply fashion. Congress is permitted those powers specifically stated (and implied) in the Constitution. Powers not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved for the States, or for the People. So what is permitted to the Congress is listed, but not what is forbidden.
