The United States Congress has the authority to establish the laws and regulations governing bankruptcy through the Bankruptcy Code. Congress shapes the bankruptcy laws, including eligibility criteria, debt discharge rules, and the procedures for filing and resolving bankruptcy cases. Additionally, Congress provides oversight of the bankruptcy system, regularly reviewing and amending bankruptcy laws as necessary.

To somewhat oversimplify: Chapter 11 is "reorganization" for Corporations or a business, & Chapter 13 is a very similar thing for people. Debts and life are paid off/down and things re-organized. Chapter 7 is flat-out, busted-broke bankruptcy - out of business, not a penny left.
Laws for the United States are made by the U.S. Congress.
Bankruptcy in the United States is governed under the United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4) which authorizes Congress to enact "uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States." Congress has exercised this authority several times since 1801, most recently by adopting the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, codified in Title 11 of the United States Code and commonly referred to as the "Bankruptcy Code" ("Code"). The Code has been amended several times since, with the most significant recent changes enacted in 2005 through the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA). Some law relevant to bankruptcy is found in other parts of the United States Code. While bankruptcy cases are filed in United States Bankruptcy Court (units[1] of the United States District Courts), and federal law governs procedure in bankruptcy cases, state laws are often applied when determining property rights. For example, law governing the validity of liens or rules protecting certain property from creditors (known as exemptions), may derive from state law or federal law. Because state law plays a major role in many bankruptcy cases, it is often unwise to generalize some bankruptcy issues across state lines.
