again, in the act of bestowing powers upon government, you also limit those powers. if there was no limit to the government's power, you wouldn't even need the constitution because the gov's power would be limitless.

asking where government's powers come is a different topic than what the constitution does. people give the government power - the constitution defines those powers and their boundaries.
