Monroe believed that the US needed a strong central government that had power. He believed that most of the powers were implied in the Constitution, though, not specifically spelled out, because 1) if the Founders did that they were bound to forget something and 2) he wanted the goals of the Constitution to be able to be flexible to changing standards and the evolution of the US.
