Who gives the government power over the people?

The Constitution of the United States of America gives the Government Power

The people give the government its powers. This is one of the foundational principles of the U.S. Constitution:

Limited Government: Since the people give government its power, government itself is limited to the power given to it by them. In other Words, the US government does not derive its power from itself. It must follow its own laws and it can only act using powers given to it by the people.

The People give power to the government. And The People don't realize that they can take it back if necessary.
