[edit] Brief Precis
Hamilton explains the wording of "Necessary and proper". He states that Congress must have the power to create legislation to collect taxes, and that "necessary and proper" will serve as guidelines for the legislation of those laws. The legislative branch is to be the judge, but any abuse of those powers of judging can be overturned by the people, whether as states or as a larger group.
