It highlights key provisions, such as the limitations on suspending habeas corpus, passing bills of attainder, and enacting ex post facto laws, which are essential for safeguarding citizens' freedoms. The analysis reveals how these constitutional restrictions shape the balance of power within the federal government, particularly enhancing Congressional authority regarding budgetary matters.
