The enumerated powers can be found at Article 1, Section 8.

note: Modern definition states that either the commerce clause or the general welfare clause, or both, show that the framers knew that they were wasting ink when penning these innocuous, almost turret-like utterances.

This would appear to make Article 1 Section 7 irrelevant by association.

Based on this note: you've put on two threads referencing the Constitution and Bill of Rights, care to give us a link to the origins of the understanding the Founders had of the commerce clause or the general welfare clause? Thanks.
