Hamilton is most certainly my guy.

I would like to remind you of a sentence you bolded, with additional emphasis mine:

"They might urge with a semblance of reason, that the constitution ought not to be charged with the absurdity of providing against the abuse of an authority, which was not given, and that the provision against restraining the liberty of the press afforded a clear implication, that a power to prescribe proper regulations concerning it, was intended to be vested in the national government."

Hamilton's argument wasn't that nothing was implied by the Constitution, it was that we had to be very considerate of what we added to the Constitution because inferences are valid. Please note how this explanation is coherent with his later (explicit) arguments for implied powers.

All I said was Hamilton was against a Bill of Rights. Ya'll are the ones trying to make some argument about other powers.

These are your words: "Hamilton's main argument was that the Bill of Rights was unnecessary, because the Government wasn't allowed to do anything that wasn't expressly granted in the Constitution." You have interpreted an argument that fits your overarching philosophy, even though this interpretation is directly contradicted by the man himself and that is why you are Ronald Reagan.

No one disagrees that Bruce says "Born in the USA!", the interpretation of that as a patriotic sentiment is what is incorrect. No one disagrees that Hamilton was anti Bill of Rights, the interpretation of that as strict constructionism is what is incorrect. How do we know this? Because they told us exactly that.
