I get that - I wasn't trying to nitpick on mistakes. I suppose what I'm getting at is that there is more to our government than what the Constitution says, though it does get trump status. Because the power to make laws is granted, and as Hamilton argued, the power to do things to carry those laws out is implied, there is a lot of stuff that has happened in the last 200 years that bears consideration.

Out of curiosity DK, are you of the opinion that Hamilton and the Federalists were already going too far? Of course, that's a whole other can of worms which could be a great thread, but your answer may help me understand your perspective.
