What defines what the US federal government is morally obliged to do and what it is legally compelled to do?
The Constitution describes what it can do and, importantly, what it can legally be prevented from doing. No government anywhere can be compelled to do anything in a positive way, only to stop doing something they have no constitutional authority to do. The US Constitution contains in its preamble general ideas of what the government is morally obliged to do, and of course any elected government is morally obliged to carry out its mandate from the electors, an obligation they usually ignore.

Which article of the constitution makes the federal government the most powerful?
WHOA! The Federal government is not the most powerful. The people through their State governments have the most power! The Federal government can only do what the States let them do in the US Constitution. The Federal government cannot make any of the States do anything, save for paying taxes, serving in the military, play nice with other States and countries as far as trade goes, have a postal service, coin money, make citizens of immigrants, and to define piracy and provide for punishment of pirates, and enacting laws to make these duties happen. Sadly, President Obama often breaks these rules and should be legally impeached and convicted, but the current Congress is too weak and afraid to do that. Also, sadly, the States have come to depend on Federal money for large parts of their budgets. The Federal government can legally say, "If you States don't do what we want, you will lose your Federal money." In some locations of the country, that is called, "Dirty pool".
