Public Laws (Resources for Budget Law)

Statutes

The U.S. Constitution has limited guidance as to this fundamental aspect of governance. The current system, such as it is, does not indicate any comprehensive plan or succession of events beyond a general attempt by lawmakers to keep up with the massive growth of the Federal Government over time. Included here are some of the major laws, but by no means exhaustive.
