The federal government agency that tries to monitor and prevent terrorist financing is part of the State Department, the Office of Foreign Assets Control\n\nHere is a description of their Mission:\nThe Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and \nnational security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of \nweapons of mass destruction. OFAC acts under Presidential wartime and national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on \ntransactions and freeze foreign assets under US jurisdiction.

Constitutional amendments provide a very loose framework and spell out the nation's goals and intents.  Every constitutional amendment requires an act of legislation to spell out enforcement guidelines.

The federal government is the central government of the United States.  That is the president and the congress.

Federal Law enforcement generally falls under the interstate commerce clause of the US constitution.  That gives Congress the ability to create them.  The FBI and ATF are good examples of this.  The commerce clause has been stretched pretty far so that almost anything can be investigated by the FBI.  This started when Hoover wanted to hunt down an escaped convict.  The FBI wasn't allowed to look for him because it didn't involve interstate travel.  Hoover said that the prisoner was in violation of the Selective Service Act, which mandated that all males over 18 had to inform Selective Service when they changed residences.  The convict didn't inform the SS of his change of address, which was a federal crime, so the FBI went after him for that.  As funny as it sounds, it worked and today the FBI and ATF don't even bother to make excuses.  They know that they can always come up with something if they are challenged in court.

The authority of the Constitution was established after it was ratified by the (I believe it had to be 7 of the 13)Thirteen States. What isn't expressly given to the Federal Government is implied to go to the states.  The 3 branches had their own powers that check and balance each other out

It is the statute by which federal administrative decisions and rules are made.  The key rule:  Things cannot be arbitrary or capricious.

The power to confirm appointments of US Supreme Court Judges by the President.  And my reading of the constitution (Articles I, II & III) and old law classes indicate that the the US Supreme court has no check on this power....as it would allow the court, in effect, to select their own members.\n\nSo much for 100% of the checks and balances theory.  If someone else can cite differently I would appreciate the information.

Governments reprsent a congregation of power. Power attracts money. Whenever too much power and money gets concentrated in one place, bad things are bound to happen.\n\nOur founders were looking to prevent that by explicitly enumerating the powers of the federal government. All other powers not mentioned in the Constitution and the ammendments that followed were to be in th hands of the states and the people.\n\nWe've been folling away from that doctrine for some time, moreso over the last 6 years. In the current age of executive signing statements, domestic survellince, warrantless arrests and detentions, etc. one would be hard pressed to trust the government.\n\nThe founders of this country didn't trust their own government they created. Why should we trust ours?\n\n~X~

The Bill of Rights is a part of the Constitution.

This amendment was added as a specific response to the Anti-Federalists (Madison, Jay and Hamilton) who were arguing that they were afraid if a specific right wasn't written into the Constitution the government could infringe on it. It was designed as a catchall to ensure that just because a specific right wasn't spelled out in black and white the government would not be allowed to simply trample it. This, by far and away, was the most important aspect of ensuring that the document that framed the fledgling US government was one that decided what the GOVERNMENT could and could not do rather than a basis for what the PEOPLE could and could not do.

Assuming you are taking about the United States government...\n\nThe federal government derives its power from the states.  Any powers not granted to the federal government by the states (in the US Constitution) are reserved for the states.  The 10th amendment to the Constitution states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."  That is why the US government is known as a government of enumerated powers- if the federal government wants to do something they have to find a way to justify that action in the Constitution (which they are pretty good at doing).

Because the U.S. Constitution says so.
