Well, specifically, yes, but in a more general way, the way SCOTUS can sometimes find government powers enumerated without words in a document specifically designed to explicitly list every power the government was allowed.

The case is different with individual rights. The benefit of the doubt is supposed to go to the states over the feds and to the individual over any level of government unless one can find in the Constitution words to the contrary. So individual rights don't have to be listed to be valid, like govt powers.

However, even here SCOTUS can err, as in Roe by asserting an unlisted individual right (abortion) that conflicts with a listed individual right (life), or by exalting the feds over states on a matter that is not properly theirs to regulate. In Roe, I believe they did both.

Just finished a great book - “Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution”.

The federal gov’t nearly IMMEDIATELY reneged on the promise of enumerated powers. (Marshall)

Basically, there were those that were nationalists - Hamilton - that wanted a supreme national gov’t, and the states wouldn’t ratify, so they argued enumeration until ratification, then governed as they wished anyway.
