The founders experienced an overbearing government. The ever changing policies enacted by a tyrant king, followed up by an unrelenting non-caring attitude over them airing their grievances, led the founders to independence. Having just experienced that and fighting against it to create their own independence, it seems highly unlikely that they would have written the constitutional powers to allow the newly formed congress to do whatever they wanted to in the name of interstate commerce, general welfare, or necessary and proper.
If somewhere in there is a secret piece of paper that says 'ha, fooled you all', i'd like to see it.
