Sec. 1. Scope



    This chapter does not exhaustively treat the powers of Congress 
enumerated in the Constitution. It is intended, rather, as a discussion 
of selected areas, including some in which issues have arisen, or may 
arise, as to the relative scope of authority of Congress and other 
branches of government.(1)
