Provide for the General Welfare ...

Many have queried this writer on the context of the following quote; "Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare but only those specifically enumerated." -- Thomas Jefferson Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton argued this point. Eventually, Hamilton's view won, and it was solidified in the US v. Butler case (1936). As Hamilton's view was explained in the Federalist Papers, and as it now functions in our law, it provides an expansive view of Congress's power to spend tax money. Jefferson, BTW, was referring to the second instance of the "general welfare" clause in the Constitution. You probably think it was the first one. You'd know that if you'd actually read Constitutional history. -- Ed Huntress |

It sounded like he really knew what he was talking about. Hawke |
