Right, but it doesn’t say what KIND of foreign policy to conduct. That issue is and always will be up for debate.

Then rather than asking silly questions as to whether the Constitution authorizes specific foreign policy expedients (like spreading democracy), you should acknowledge the truth of your own statement: that the Constitution does not restrict the Federal government from pursuing such a policy but leaves the details of foreign policy to the discretion of those it empowers to act.

I do acknowledge that. My question was rhetorical. Your post seemed to indicate that the Constitution ENCOURAGED the US to spread democracy.

Jeez.
