Central planning has very little to do with the constitution of the United State. The US constitution calls for federal power to be divided, and for states to have powers independent of the federal government, with the states powers have fewer limits (the federal powers are "limited and enumerated", the states have general police power, "the powers prohibited from or not delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people").

Also the constitution doesn't try to plan the economy, or provide a great deal of detail about even what the government does. It lays out the powers, not what the government should do with them. It creates limits for the center.

See

and esp.

which you will see forwards to "economic planing". Central planning is trying to control the economy through some centralized plan. The connection to the constitution is close to non-existent.
