The Constitution of the United States, in Article 1, gives the Congress the authority to make laws, but this power is not "unlimited". The Constitution, in Article 1 Section 8, grants the Congress 18 "enumerated powers"; beyond these, the Congress is not authorized to make laws.

Additionally, the Bill of Rights has a list of specific restrictions that limit the power of Congress and the Federal government.
