The Constitution does not give specific jurisdiction over the people to the government. Instead, it divides power between the federal government and the state governments and establishes a system of checks and balances to ensure that no one branch or level of government becomes too powerful. The Constitution grants specific powers to the three branches of government, the legislative, executive, and judicial. For example, Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to "lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States." Article II, Section 1 grants the President the "executive power" and the power to veto laws. Article III, Section 1 establishes the judicial branch and grants federal courts the power to hear cases involving federal law, disputes between states, and cases in which the US government is a party. The Constitution also guarantees certain individual rights to the people, such as freedom of speech, religion, and press, the right to a fair trial, and the right to bear arms, which are protected by the judicial branch.

In summary, the Constitution grants specific powers to the government and establishes the framework for government to exercise its jurisdiction over the people, but it does not give specific jurisdiction over the people to the government.

The Constitution does not give jurisdiction over the people to any specific branch or level of government. Instead, it divides power between the federal government and the state governments, and reserves certain rights to the people. For example, the Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate commerce, taxes, and the military, among other things. It also grants the President the power to veto laws, make treaties, and serve as commander-in-chief of the military. The Constitution grants the federal courts the power to hear cases involving federal law, disputes between states, and cases in which the US government is a party. It also establishes the Bill of Rights, which guarantees certain individual rights, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, the right to a fair trial, and the right to bear arms. These individual rights are protected by the judicial branch and the constitution itself.

The US Constitution does not specifically name any legal jurisdictions. It establishes the federal government and defines its powers and responsibilities. The Constitution also leaves certain powers to the states and reserves all other powers to the people. It also establishes the Supremacy Clause, which gives federal laws and treaties priority over state laws in cases of conflict. Additionally, the Constitution also established the framework for the judicial branch which would have jurisdiction over certain types of cases, such as those involving federal law and disputes between states.
