All of Article One. It's actually a quite large section:

Sections 7-10 would be most likely where you'll find what you need, since those section outline powers, limits, and what authority they carry over the states.

Also, while many people wouldn't even think of it, the 27th Amendment grants power to Congress...to decide their pay:

The powers of Congress are enumerated in distinct places contained in the structure. the biggest itemizing of congressional powers seems in Article I, section 8 (see left) which identifies in seventeen paragraphs many substantial powers of Congress. The very last paragraph of Article I, section 8 supplies you to Congress the flexibility "to make all guidelines which will be needed and ideal for wearing into execution the foregoing powers"--the "needed and ideal Clause." the perfect interpretation of the necessary and ideal Clause became the topic of a heated debate between such substantial figures as Alexander Hamilton (who argued that the clause should be study widely to authorize the workout of many implied powers) and Thomas Jefferson (who argued that "needed" truly meant needed). Hamilton's extra versatile interpretation makes attainable a reliable time-honored authorities, while Jefferson's narrower interpretation strengthens states' rights.

Article one of the Constitution proper. And a minor pay adjustment in the 27th amendment.
