   14.    Some few statesmen have contended, that the clause gave farther powers, than mere incidental powers. But their reasoning does not seem very clear or satisfactory. See Governor Randolph's Remarks, 2 Elliot's Debates, 342; Mr. Gerry's Speech in February, 1791, 4 Elliot's Debates, 295, 227. These Speeches are, however, valuable for some striking views, which they present, of the propriety of a liberal construction of the words.

There is no express power given by the constitution to erect forts, or magazines, or light-houses, or piers, or buoys, or public buildings, or to make surveys of the coast; but they have been constantly deemed incidental to the general powers.
