Battle over implied powers?
The first battle of implied powers of Congress was fought over the formation of banks. In 1790, Alexander Hamilton urged Congress to set up a national bank. Opponents of this claimed that Constitution didn't give Congress that power to establish such a bank. Hamilton won after reviewing the Necessary and Proper Clause. this battle and the first national bank was established in 1791. However, it's charter expired in 1811. During the 20 years it was opened, it was unchallenged by the courts.

What implies that congress has powers beyond those expressed in the first 17 clauses of article 1 section 8?
To the framers of the constitution there were two types of powers. Expressed power and implied. The expressed powers are ones that are stated like the power to declare war is given to congress, but to the framers it was clear that they didn't mean to have these powers be the final word so they built in a " fail safe" method to give leeway in what congress can do. They used a clause in Article 1 stating what was " necessary and proper." This means that congress can make laws to carry out the expressed powers. To a strict constructionist this is hazy and they are fearful that the government might take on too many powers and they claim that the constitution limits congress to powers only expressed in the constitution. A loose constructionist feel that congress not only has the power but the responsibility to adapt to changing times by making new laws. The existence of the clause in Article 1 indicates that the Framers knew the government would change and have to take on additional powers or obligations. The Supreme Court brought the concept of implied powers to life by hearing cases like aMcCulloch v Maryland in 1819.

Why are implied powers important?
There is no "implied powers clause" in the US Constitution. What is mean by "implied powers" goes back to Alexander Hamilton. When asked by George Washington to defend a bill creating a US national bank (the First National Bank of the United States) against Thomas Jefferson's accusations that nowhere in the US Constitution was the power to create a bank (or issue money, for that matter) discussed or granted, Hamilton answered that certain powers were implied by the Constitution. What he has been interpreted to mean is that the Constitution grants non-enumerated powers generally necessary to fulfill explicitly enumerated duties. That is, the Federal government is permitted to do things not explicitly noted, provided that such actions are reasonably required to perform a function explicitly required (or granted) by the Constitution. The argument from Hamilton is that Implied Powers are a practical necessity, since no document would be able to explicitly name all the possible requirements for a government, and thus, without the Implied Powers, a government could not effectively function ("the constitution would be a dead letter", to quote James Madison). In general, the "General Welfare" clause and the "necessary and proper" clause are interpreted to give the Implied Powers.
