Essential Questions: What is the purpose of federalism? Why does the government need to make sure that the rights of citizens are upheld? What were the causes of instances in United States history in which rights were not properly upheld? How were/have these issues been resolved?

Powers of Congress Expressed/Enumerated Powers Implied Powers Legislative Powers: 1. Taxing and Spending: only the Congress can pass laws about raising and spending money 2. Regulating Commerce: only the Congress can regulate interstate and international trade 3. Foreign relations: Only Congress can declare war, maintain the military, and approve treaties with other nations.

Other Congressional Powers Non-legislative powers: the duties and responsibilities of Congress that do not deal with making laws 1. Propose constitutional amendments 2. Check other branches: approve Federal judges and secretaries of executive agencies; impeach the President and VP 3. Oversight and Investigation: Congress investigates the effectiveness of their laws and programs

Limits on Congressional Power First Amendment freedoms Cannot suspend the Writ of Habeas Corpus: cannot put people in jail without a charge Cannot pass a Bill of Attainder: cannot put someone in prison unless convicted in a trial No Ex Post Facto Laws: cannot charge someone with a crime if they committed the act before it was a crime

Benefits of Congress $174,000 annual salary Free trips to home state Franking Privilege: send work related US mail for free Each member of Congress has close to 100 staff members who assist in many ways. They gather information on new bills, deal with lobbyists and the press, and deal with letters/ from constituents.

Congressional Support Services Library of Congress: collect information on new bills as requested by each member of Congress. General Accounting Office: Reviews spending of Federal agencies and makes recommendations on changes
