The United States is a government of enumerated powers.Congress, and the other two branches of the federal government, can only exercise those powers given in the Constitution. The powers of Congress are enumerated<span> in several places in the Constitution.
</span>There are three branches to our system of government: the legislative branch<span> (Congress), the </span>executive branch<span> (the president), and the </span>judicial branch<span> (the Supreme Court and the federal court system). The judicial branch is barely described in the Constitution, which is why the federal court system as it exists today was largely produced by Congress with two Judiciary Acts in 1789 and 1801. The first three Articles of the Constitution spell out what the three branches are supposed to look like, how they're composed, and what they can do; in other words, the Constitution enumerates the powers of each part of the government.</span>
