You don't have a clue, and yet act under the pretense you do.
See:
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1: James Madison to Andrew Stevenson
And each of the debates on the meaning of general Welfare, here:
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1
And in a week or so get back to me and tell the readers what you've learned.
Alexander hamilton (the framer that wanted the most federal power) said This specification of particulars [the 18 enumerated powers of Article I, Section 8] evidently excludes all pretension to a general legislative authority, because an affirmative grant of special powers would be absurd as well as useless if a general authority was intended.
Its a great thing to think about. If the framers wanted to have unlimited power, why give it enunerated powers?
The term general means for everyone. how in the **** is one person getting shit other people do not get qualify?
How does local relief qualify? It doesnt.
Words actual meaning, the intent of the constitution USED to matter.
In the late 19th century, savannah georgia burned to the ground. Almost thewhole city was destroyed. Congress refused to help because the federal govt didnt have the enumerated powers to only help certain people.
You statists fucked the constitution up!!
