Problem
"I had rather ask an enlargement of power from the nation, where it is found necessary, than to assume it by a construction which would make our powers boundless. Our peculiar security is in possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction. [The Constitution] specifies & delineates the operations permitted to the federal government, and gives all the powers necessary to carry these into execution.... Nothing is more likely than that their enumeration of powers is defective. This is the ordinary case of all human works. Let us go on then perfecting it, by adding, by way of amendment to the Constitution, those powers which time & trial show are still wanting"
Per the quote above from Thomas Jefferson, what does it mean in the sense of living under a constitutionally limited government?
