Note:

The infographic above is intended to be only a

basic overview of what libertarian, conservative,

"constitutionalist", and/or "original intent"

interpretations of the Constitution

seem to allow the Congress to do.

It does not include all policy topics.

Policy topics not listed in the above image include

(for example) bankruptcy, antitrust and monopolies,

the census, the military draft, consumer labeling, 

child protection, monitoring elections, and setting wages and

overseeing union negotiations and collecting labor statistics.

The topics above are listed in order according to

how easily it would be to justify federal legislation
on the manner - according to the Constitution and

what has traditionally been allowed for most of the

country's history - from the easiest (bankruptcy). to

the most difficult (the activities of the Department of Labor).
