17. In what ways does the Constitution limit Congress's power?

Article 1 section 9 of the U. S constitution deals with the limitation of Congress

Explanation:

1. Pass the post facto law (It is a law that alters the legal consequences of actions previously taken, or relationships that occurred before the law was enacted), which acts after it has already been committed.

2. Pass bill of attender, which punishes individuals outside the court system.

3. Suspend the writ of Haebius corpus, a court order requiring the federal government to charge individuals arrested for crimes. Congress can only suspend the right of habeas corpus during national emergency.
