[Jacquerie]

The term “general welfare” is a common term one finds in many colonial charters, state constitutions written after independence in 1776, the Articles of Confederation and of course, our Constitution.

Also, Article 1 Section 8 is one sentence, one concept, one complete thought, where the enumerated powers detail how the new federal government is to provide for the common defense and general welfare.

From 1607 to 1937 the meaning was uncontested. By that time, FDR has sufficiently badgered Scotus into compliance with his New Deal Utopia.

[Travis McGee]

When words have no meaning, the Constitution has no meaning.

Which is the intention of the socialists.
