Good catch! I should have written “authors” instead of founders.
Hehe. In their own way those folks WERE Founders too. Sec 1 was supposed to make State Actors honor Amendments 1-8 which were being seen as prohibitions which restrained only Federal Actors. (as both the 2nd and 7th still do because gutless hacks on the SCOTUS have refused to incorporate them against State Actors yet)
Nanzi wouldn’t know the 14th if it jumped up and bit her, unlike some Other DC types.
“If Congress can determine what constitutes the general welfare and can appropriate money for its advancement, where is the limitation to carrying into execution whatever can be effected by money?”
