Amendments 1-8, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 27 all directly limit the power of the national government (though 11 affects only the Judiciary, not Congress or the Executive).

Also, 15, 19, 24, and 26 limit the power of any government (national or state) to restrict voting rights. However, this is (practically speaking) mostly a limitation on the power of the states, as the national government doesn't regulate voter qualifications as a matter of course.

Lastly, the Twenty-First Amendment technically limits national power, but only by taking away the power that the Eighteenth Amendment granted (the power to enact Prohibition of alcohol).

What are 3 ways that the Constitution denies power to the National or Federal Government?

1. The Constitution denies some powers to the National Government in so many words - expressly. Among them are the powers to levy duties on exports; to deny freedom of religion, speech, press, or assembly; to conduct illegal searches or seizures; and to deny to any person a speedy and public trial, or a trial by jury. 2. Several powers are denied to the National Government because of the silence of the Constitution. Recall, the National Government is a government of delegated powers; it has only those powers the Constitution gives to it. Among the many powers not granted to the National Government are these: to create a public school system for the nation, to enact uniform marriage and divorce laws, and to set up units of local government. The Constitution says nothing that would give the National Government the power to do any of these things expressly, implicitly, or inherently. 3. Some powers are denied to the National Government because the Constitution established a federal system for the United States. Clearly the Constitution does not intend that the National Government should have any power to do those things that would threaten the existence of that system. For example, in the exercise of its power to tax, Congress cannot tax any of the States or their local units in the carrying out of their governmental functions. If it could, it would have the power to destroy (tax out of existence) one or more, or all, of the States.


How do the citizenship provisions of the fourteenth amendment demonstrate the principles if federalism?

The amendment recognizes the existence of both state and national levels of citizenship, although becoming a national citizen automatically makes one a state citizen. States have the power to deny certain citizens some of the privileges of citizenship. However, only the national government can grant, deny, or revoke citizenship itself. These provisions exemplify federalism's hierarchy and diffusion of authority
