Question

What in the Constitution allows the federal government to add more powers to itself?

Answer 1

we do by not collectively raising h**l everytime they do it.

Answer 2

Only a constitutional amendment can do that.

The constitution specifically states that all powers not enumerated in the constitution are left to the states.

Answer 3

Actually it doesn't...........it is our Politicians who are doing this.

Answer 4

Nothing.

However you will repeatedly see acts and legislation get passed that grants greater powers to the government, when an amendment is what is legally needed.

Answer 5

Nothing in the Constitution allows that.  What allows that is what is in our Congress - a vast majority being representatives who ignore their oath of office to defend the Constitution.

We need more like Ron Paul.

Answer 6

Absolutely nothing.
