Why is it important for citizens to know the powers of congress?

Congress has the power to: Make laws. Declare war. Raise and provide public money and oversee its proper expenditure. Congress, as one of the three coequal branches of government, is ascribed significant powers by the Constitution. All legislative power in the government is vested in Congress, meaning that it is the only part of the government that can make new laws or change existing laws.
