The Constitution limits the power of the national government
by two methods, Federalism and Separation of Power. Federalism limits the power
of the Federal Government by splitting powers to the National Government and
the states, while some powers are shared among both. Separation of Powers
limits the power of the government by dividing those powers to all three
branches of government to make it more stable. The separation of powers was put
into place so the federal government are kept distinct in order to prevent
abuse of any power. Federalism was included in the U.S. Constitution to show
how both the government and the state’s share equal power as well as share the
same powers. The Constitution helps with limiting the powers of both the
national government and the states to create a stable nation.
