From Federalist 84 (Hamilton):
I go further and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed Constitution but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted.
He was half-right.
There should have been a bill of limitations and enumerated rights.
Sadly, Amendment IX opens the door for more claims of “rights.”
I hear you.
By enumerating the Rights and defining them, it leaves the door open to create more.
Human Nature, I guess.
