The Constitution gives the federal government several powers, including the power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, declare war, coin money, establish post offices, and establish a federal court system. These powers are outlined in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, known as the "enumerated powers" or "expressed powers." Additionally, the Necessary and Proper Clause, also known as the Elastic Clause, grants Congress the authority to make all laws necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers.
The powers the Constitution explicitly gave to the federal government are known as delegated powers.

No, the constitution does not give unlimited power, in fact it gives only limited powers to the government. There are 3 types of powers: Expressed, Implied, and Reserved. Expressed Powers - powers for the Federal government that are not specifically stated in the Constitution. Implied Powers - powers for the federal government that are actually written down in the constitution. Reserved Powers - powers given to state government (basically the left-over powers that the Federal government isn't in charge of.)
Constitutional powers can be classified as federal powers only. The Constitution does not give the right to the federal government to make laws in individual states.
The powers of the Federal government delineated in the US Constitution, give the federal government its duty to enforce Federal laws granted to it by the Constitution. If the powers not mentioned to belong to the Federal government, are left to the States.
