The constitution was written in the context of inventing and designing Federal power.  The dudes wouldn't have been cooperating in writing the stuff at all otherwise.  Good grief but you are a tard!  Of course the designers had concerns about the powers that they were designing as would any rational person then and now, and a lot of these concerns are reflected in their documents.
