6842. POWERS, Enlarging.—[continued].
Nothing is more likely
than that their [the framers of the Constitution]
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 forms which time and trial show are
still wanting.—
To Wilson C. Nicholas. Washington ed. iv, 506.
