<<insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity>> Thank you for the history lesson, but this doesn't answer my question. The general welfare discussed in the Constitution refers to the safety of the U.S. as a whole, not any one person as an individual. The blessings of liberty refers to individual rights and property ownership rights. I agree with the common defence issue, as stated in my previous post. In order for you to more intelligently discuss the issue, I refer you to the Federalist Papers, which discuss not only the concepts, but what the words were meant to convey. Once again, where does the federal government get any right to be involved with individual happiness or health. I refer you to the 9th and 10th amendments, that explicitly restrict the powers of the federal government to those powers delineated in the Constitution, reserving all other powers to the individual and the states.
