"power should be infinite" I think "unrestrained" works better than "infinite" here.
"rather than as enumerated powers" Unclear how this contrasts with the "ends it is meant to achieve"; a brief explanation would be helpful.
Capitalize Anti-Federalists.
"would lack the means to achieve its ends" to "would deprive the government of the means to achieve its ends"?
"government powerless in raising a defense in Federalist No. 34" This is somewhat awkwardly worded, I initially parsed it as meaning that Hamilton was raising a defense of some point. Perhaps reword to make it clearer that it's about the actual government's ability to defend the country.
References seem reliable; will spot-check later.
Spot-checks: All sources checked verify claims made.
