The main thing “implied” by the whole danged document is that ***the goverment*** is severly limited and curtailed, and that the people are filled with rights. Anything else is insanity.

Yes, but my thrust is not to the general. It is an attempt to demonstrate that the Collectivist effort to justify a "liberal," i.e. loose or enhancing, interpretation of the specific functions granted, is itself clearly wrong, from the tight ways those grants were actually spelled out, in relation to one another.

This is an additional argument to the one you make; based upon analysis of precise wording.
