"Government" does not have any external authority to make laws; the only authority it has is the rule of force.

Within the United States of America, governmental authority comes from the Constitution of the United States, which lists 18 specific "enumerated powers". Living within the United States is an implicit acceptance of the rules embodied within the Constitution; if you don't accept the Constitution, you're free to leave and go elsewhere.
