That’s why the Constitution describes what the Government CAN’T do, rather than what it can do.

I would have to disagree with that. Perhaps some of the amendments do, but they are far from the complete Constitution.

Article 1, Section 8 is a complete list of what the congress is authorized to make laws about. Those enumerated items, and nothing else, may they regulate.

That was avoided by the feds by twisting the 'commerce' clause and the 'general welfare' clause.

The founders writings made it very clear that the only powers the federal government were allowed were spelled out in the Constitution.

I was thinking of the Bill or Rights rather than the Constitution as a whole. I should’ve been clearer.
