The “general welfare clause” is limited to the Federal Government’s welfare.

The United States is the Federal Government as referenced throughout the
constitution.

here is where it says “the United States” is *NOT* the States or The
People. Amendment 10 separates “the United States” from the others given
powers and rights in the constitution, because the United States is the
Federal Government.

Amendment X
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.

All that brings context to the Article 1 Section 8 where they say the
WELFARE CLAUSE is nested. but here is the actual words and you can see
that “WELFARE” has a limitation on it, which is limiting it to the
welfare of the Federal Government(United States Government)….

    The problem is how far will you let the scam go…. while you say
    education isn’t in the constitution, I say that the “welfare clause”
    that you are dissecting, is also being inserted where it doesn’t exist.

    You say education doesn’t exist in the Welfare clause and I say the
    welfare clause doesn’t exist for the States or the People.

    The welfare clause was written into a section that is *exclusively*
    *dealing with the Congress and Federal government* and it specifically
    has a qualifier attached to it to limit it to the Federal
    government(United States).

    It is the WELFARE OF THE UNITED STATES “GOVERNMENT”.

    The congress is being charged with paying the for “the bills”, “the
    Defense” and “the WELFARE” of (States) or (People) or (Federal government)

    It’s The “bills,defense,welfare” of the Federal government.

    It is like *RELIGION* …the Federal government has to keep it’s hands
    off and education is the same, while not specifically enumerated, the
    lack of powers given are identical to the federal governments
    restrictions on Religion.

    The fact the constitution doesn’t list every thing the Federal
    government can’t do is not an issue, since amendment 10 says everything
    NOT listed, is a list of things the federal government can’t do.

    They say “the several states” when they refer to the States.

    *delegated… by the Constitution*

    *are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people*

    This is one of the most dangerous/ignorant statements I have ever seen.

    To begin with the 10th amendment refutes that…. Congress can’t fund
    State political campaigns any more than they can fund fashion police.

    Allowing unlimited power to fund is stupid and to start with the
    constitution says;

    [To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use
    shall be for a longer Term than two Years;]

    That is a limit on the term that they can fund the Military. So they
    can’t do anything.

    [No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of
    Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the
    Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from
    time to time.]

    [The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts
    and Excises, *to pay* the Debts and provide for the common Defence and
    general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and
    Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;]

    It says *to pay* and then lists what to pay. I don’t see the word “ANYTHING”

    Being forced to buy something is a tax….?

    Can I then be “taxed”(forced) to buy porn?

    To carry it further…. churches are taxed, does this mean I can be
    forced(taxed) to donate to a church.

    If I can be forced to BUY/GIVE my money to a business/charity then
    taking into account that taxes are also placed on Churches then *taxes*
    *transcend* the *Separation of church and State* which means that I
    could be taxed(forced) to give my money to a specific Religion. Just as
    I am being forced to give to a specific type of insurance company?

    Amendment X
    *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.

    Not only aren’t they enumerated, they just don’t exist.

    Congress’ General welfare powers has zero to do with the people or with
    the States. The founders knew that the Federal government would only be
    concerned with the “General Welfare” of the Federal government and that
    was what they wrote. The founders limited the Federal government
    knowing that limiting congress would serve everyone’s “General Welfare”

    Otherwise the States have zero autonomy and are simply federal
    jurisdictions, since the Federal Government can claim “General welfare”
    and usurp any State powers. The constitution is worthless if you grant
    congress unlimited power via “General Welfare”

    In essence you are saying that we have NO States, they are just subjects
    of the all powerful Federal Government.

    You have thrown us back 1000 years to feudalism.

    NOW that’s a tough one? we aren’t giving powers to a LAND or
    territory…. it is speaking of only one supreme government entity so
    it’s not a family of Nations…

    I’ve got it, it must be “states which are united by and under the
    Constitution” you know, the Federal government.

    And then we can put it in context too… Why would the FEDERAL CONGRESS
    pay the DEBTS of the States or the People.

    In fact States tax the people to pay their own debts.

    If we were being taxed by the Federal government to pay other States
    Debts than the State we live in, we would be paying tax for debts we
    have no representation for. Isn’t that the same as Taxation without
    representation if we are taxed and not represented on the expenditure of
    that tax.

    Correct….

    The word Welfare is in the preamble and in Article 1 Section 8

    In the first case “the preamble” it is a mission statement saying why
    the constitution is being written;

    [We the People of the United States, *in Order to form* a more perfect
    Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
    common defense, *promote* the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings
    of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, *do ordain and establish*
    *this Constitution* for the United States of America.]

    SO it is NOT a power or even what the constitution is supposed to
    include, but what “the document” as a whole accomplishes. That means
    that this document and NOT the parts of it….. promote the general
    welfare. The document as a whole is there to limit tyranny and
    government power.

    Limiting government power *PROMOTES THE GENERAL WELFARE*

    The document its self is doing these things, where in the document does
    it address *secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our
    Posterity* It doesn’t because it is what the document is supposes to do
    overall.

    There is also the FACT that *PROMOTE* is not the same as *PROVIDE*

    As for Article 1 Section 8
    [to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare
    of *the United States* ;]

    *The United States* is the Federal government.

    [Amendment X
    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.]

    *The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution* ,
    nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States

    So the Feds have zero power delegated on many many many items of our
    life, and those “powers” NOT delegated to the FEDS are given away to the
    States or the People…….

    If the federal government isn’t given *the power* then they need to do

    The “right” to keep and bear arms is not a mandate….

    having the right does not require that you exercise it.

    The burden is on government to allow the exercise of the right.

    AS OPPOSED TO;

    Amendment IV
    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
    and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, *shall not*
    *be* *violated* , and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
    supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
    to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    THIS is a law directed at the Government, that States it can’t be
    violated. *shall not be violated*

    Which means the government and you have no choice in the execution of
    this law, just as you have no say in a murder case, the law is the law
    and must be followed with or without your approval.

    In Short, “you” can’t waive the government’s need to follow the
    constitution.

    And the constitution requires them to get a warrant.

    It’s another politicians lie that Congress has unlimited power to spend,
    the constitution limits their power to spend just as it limits all other
