Implied powers: non-enumerated powers of the government that came along with their defined powers. 10th Ammendment: reserved all the rights not explicitly delegated or prohibited by the constitution to the states or to the people. Strict construction: philosophy of judicial interpretation and legal philosophy that limits judicial interpretation to the meanings of the actual words and phrases used in law, and not on other sources or inferences. "Elastic" clause: provision (section eight, clause 18) in Article One of the United States Constitution granting Congress the power "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." Loose construction: Vested powers: Judiciary Act of 1789: established the U.S. federal judiciary.

Bill of Rights: statement of certain rights which, under a society's laws, citizens and/or residents either have, want to have, or ought to have.
Neutrality Proclamation of 1793: declared the United States a neutral nation in the conflict between Great Britain and France that had begun with the French Revolution. of Treaty Greenville: put an end to the Northwest Indian War. The United States was represented by General Anthony Wayne, who defeated the Native Americans and razed their villages a year earlier at Fallen Timbers.

Treaty of Mortefontaine: ended the Quasi-War between the United States and France. Alien and Sedition Acts: were designed to protect the United States from aliens alleged to be dangerous and to muffle internal dissent. Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions: important political statements in favor of states rights written by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1798. They were passed by the two states in opposition to the federal Alien and Sedition Acts. Doctrine of nullification: legal theory that a U.S. State has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law which that state has deemed unconstitutional. Compact theory: claims that the formation of the nation was through a compact by all of the states individually.
