By what means?

By securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

(The makers of "Expelled" should have read Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 8!)

Oh, good, you know. The contextual poverty of your constitutional quote could easily have lead me to think you believe that the power of Congress to promote the progress of science and the useful arts is unlimited (or that you intend to leave that impression with others). In fact, the power is very narrow in its enumeration and application.

Given that your advanced understanding of our Constitution has now been indisputably established, perhaps you can enlighten the whole forum as to where in The Constitution the enumerated power of the Feds to fund and regulate education can be found. The text you quote is accurate, but it entirely has to do with the right to property, and not at all to do with education.
