This episode clarifies judicial power (Article III) by demystifying essential justiciability doctrinesstanding, ripeness, mootness, and political questions – ensuring you grasp when courts can (and cannot) hear a case. We then transition to the immense powers of the legislative (Article I) and executive (Article II) branches, from Congress's enumerated powers to the President's foreign policy authority.

Finally, we delve into the core of federalism, including the Supremacy Clause, sovereign immunity, the Dormant Commerce Clause, and crucial individual liberties like due process, equal protection, freedom of speech, religion, and takings.
