Where does it say that the Constitution is limited to only the enumerated powers? The Supreme Court recognized the existence of implied powers, identified through a reading of the Constitution as a whole, almost 200 years ago.
To that end, both the Tenth Amendment [noted above post], and the Ninth ['The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people'] specifically - not implicitly - reserve ALL undelegated/non-prohibited powers to the people and the states.
Where is that limitation? Where does it say that only those powers specifically identified in the Constitution are granted to the government or denied the states? Where does it deny the concept or the existence of imlied powers?
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary Rev. 6th ed. (1856)
EXPRESS. That which is made known, and not left to implication. The opposite of implied. It is a rule, that when a matter or thing is expressed, it ceases to be implied by law: expressum facit cessare tacitum.Obviously the framers did not enumerate a list of items such as 'the legislature may paint their chambers' or 'the executive may have bodyguards' - it's a document containing broad ENUMERATED powers, with the details to be done pursuant to those broad guidelines.
Where is that limitation? Where does it say that only those powers specifically identified in the Constitution are granted to the government or denied the states?
