I was just thinking about the USSC violating the constitution by extending laws to areas where the legislature has not approved and something occurred to me.

The Bill of Rights was not part of the Constitution when this Federalist was written. At the time, judge could not extend rights because the rights were not enumerated and hence up to the legislature to define.
