Alexander Hamilton wanted a central government with unlimited power. And although he didn’t get it on paper, he still pushed for it in other ways after ratification. As a result, today we live under the largest government in history.
In his last major speech during the Virginia Ratifying Convention, Patrick Henry warned against the potential for “ten thousand implied powers,” and called for a number of amendments prior to ratification.
In a constitutional system, government powers are fixed by the Constitution, not created by "tacit implication."
