How does the Constitution limit the powers of the national government?|||10th Amendment to the Constitution|||because of checks and balances.checks and balances balance the economy and our government to stay stable and strong.For example, the legislative branch is in charge of making laws. The executive branch can veto the law, thus making it harder for the legislative branch to pass the law. The judicial branch may also say that the law is unconstitutional and thus make sure it is not a law.|||Two ways that occur to me:





First, by failing to grant expressly or by necessary implication certain powers, since we have a government of delegated powers; and





Second, by specifically denying certain powers (e.g., the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law etc., etc., . . . ".)|||Check and balance.





The three branches: executive, legislative and judiciary balances out the power.
