Does the Constitution define "legislative" or do we know what that means?
Does the Constitution define "Powers" or do we know what that means?
Does the Constitution define "herein" or do we know what that means?
Does the Constitution define "granted" or do we know what that means?
Does the Constitution define "vested" or do we know what that means?

The Constitution is written in plain English, in the vernacular of the day. Specific terms can be looked up in historic essays and textbooks.

Further clarification can be found in the Federalist Papers.
