Well, the federal government actually has very few enumerated powers. The rest are supposed to be left to the states and the people (see: Tenth Amendment). It's just that we've allowed the federal government to overstep its bounds in many areas. Take the case of same sex marriage, for example: several Supreme Court justices expressed the opinion that they should not even be hearing such a case - and I agree.
There is a reason this country is called The United States of America and not The Federal District of America.
