According to the tenth amendment, the powers of limited to only those specifically listed in the constitution

The Federal Government

The Tenth Amendment in the United States Constitution limits the powers of the federal government to those specifically listed in the Constitution and its changes, with all others powers being "saved" to the individual states and "the general population." All other powers are reserved to the States and to the people, and “therefore explicitly denied to the federal government.”
