1. The Preamble- Thanks to this section we have popular self-government. "We the people..."
2. The Commerce Clause- Allows the government to regulate commerce among the states and with foreign nations.
3. Necessary and Proper Clause- Allows the government to do what is necessary and proper to complete its assigned tasks. Much needed for a liberal construction of the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton would agree.
4. Taxing and Spending Clause- Justifying spending towards the public good and interest. Good stuff.
5. National Supremacy Clause- The Supreme Law of the Land. End of story, the end, goodbye.
