Most of them are actions that if taken could have a negative impact on the other states, hence the need for permission or the fact that they were prohibited. Secession is another action that could have a negative impact on the other states, hence the need for permission to do that should be implied.

NOW I get it! The founders saw fit, and were smart enough, to specifically list all those other things in language that is crystal clear but left the subject of secession for the superior intellect of the chosen to figure out! < /sarcasm>

It's nice to see when the lightbulb finally goes on. </sarcasm>

So....you're saying there is no such thing as implied powers?
