Read it and weep.
This will come as a shock to you buddy..as it's the first time you've probably seen it.
K? I will put it in a nutshell.
1. Responsible for Laws (Justice).
2. Insuring Domestic Tranquility.
3. Provide for the common Defense.
4. Promote the General Welfare.
That's four..just in the Preamble!
Now..prepare to get your mind totally blown!
Holy ******* shit, right?
Kinda hard to drink that all in.
But lets bullet point some of these.
So in addition to the top? Which is repeated?
1. Collects taxes.
2. Borrow Money.
3. Coin Money.
4. Regulate commerce.
5. Regulate immigration.
6. Establish a postal service.
7. Maintain a navy.
8. Call forth an temporary army comprised of militia to suppress insurrection and defend against invasion.
9.Declare war.
10. Pass legislation.
Holy crap..wow.
That's a lot of responsibilities.
Dayum..
Hey dumbass - all of that falls under "insure domestic tranquility" which is to defend the borders of the United States. Now, smartass - where the hell does it say - take over state's rights??
Just as I thought...You marxist piece of shit.
You really haven't read this thing, you Nazi piece of shit.
Section 10.
No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.
No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.
No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
And if that isn't enough for you?
All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
Are you even American?
Perhaps you forgot this:
The 10th Amendment:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
And, how does the rest of that not fall under "ensuring domestic tranquility?" Maybe you should pull out your dictionary and look up the words "domestic" and "tranquility."
Domestic - existing or occurring inside a particular country; not foreign or international.
Tranquility - the quality or state of being tranquil; calm
The first four you listed are essential to the common defense of the citizenry (which also includes securing our borders). How does securing our borders not fall under such clauses?
1. Responsible for Laws (Justice).
2. Insuring Domestic Tranquility.
3. Provide for the common Defense.
4. Promote the General Welfare.
1. Responsible for Laws (including but not limited to passing laws related to Immigration Control and Enforcement and that existing laws are properly enforced).
2. Insuring Domestic Tranquility (including but not limited to insuring all laws pertaining to illegal immigration are enforced, and keeping illegal immigrants from disturbing the peace in any given area of the United States).
3. Provide for the common defense (including but not limited to ensuring that illegal aliens do not actively try to cross our borders illegally, engage in any criminal activity if they have entered illegally, and charge them for any crimes committed while in the country illegally).
4. Promote the General Welfare (including but not limited to passing laws, statutes, and appropriating adequate funding to the proper Immigration and Naturalization agencies to ensure the enforcement and implementation of the previous three clauses).
