It's from the Preamble to the Constitution.


Add Comment

LyinDan

8/8/2009 8:17:39 PM ---- Updated 8/8/2009 8:20:57 PM


The first is from the very first sentence of the U.S. Constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

From Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

It's one of the enumerated powers of Congress.

So, not once, but at least twice, it is stated that one of the very purposes of the Union is to "provide for the general welfare".

This phrase has never been adjudicated by the Supreme Court, but there is general agreement that it gives broad powers to our lawmakers. Although there are so-called strict constructionists who try to strip it of its clear meaning, from the first days of the Union it has been read in the broad way. That is not at all new. Read Alexander Hamilton (you may have his picture in your pocket). If you want to see some legal discussion of this subject, go here.

The reason I bring this up is to counter the argument that the U.S. as a nation has no business insuring the health of it's populace, an argument that has been made right here by some who think they are being patriotic by standing up for the right of the United States government to deny health coverage to all its citizens.

Discuss?

There are always 2 sides to everything. Depends on how each person interprets something. That's just my opinion.



This is from another page on the net. Just something to think about.

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."

First, what did "welfare" mean in the age of the Founders? From the Free Republic Web Site:

We all know the meaning of words can change over time. In order to more accurately assess the meaning of the word "welfare", with respect to its use in the Constitution, I consulted a source from that period. I happened to own a reprint of the 1828 edition of Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language. Here is how the word "welfare" was defined 40 years after it was written in the Constitution:

WEL´FARE, n. [well and fare, a good going; G. wohlfahrt; D. welvaard; Sw. valfart; Dan. velfærd.]
1. Exemption from misfortune, sickness, calamity or evil; the enjoyment of health and the common blessings of life; prosperity; happiness; applied to persons.
2. Exemption from any unusual evil or calamity; the enjoyment of peace and prosperity, or the ordinary blessings of society and civil government; applies to states.


Can't we all just get along and stop dogging each other for being DemoCRAP or RePUKEican. Lets all be INDIEpendents!!! : )

This blogger is arguing that the term "welfare" in the Constitution is being applied to the STATES of the United States, and not to individuals, even though his quoted 1800's definition mentions individuals as well as States. First off, I have to wonder how political Noah Webster was at the time, and why he would make a distinction between the two applications of the word, individual and collective (states). Maybe there was some ulterior purpose in that. Second, the blogger is ignoring the word as used in the Preamble, as I say, the very first sentence in the Constitution. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Here, the word is clearly referring to individuals, even by Noah's old definition. How can a State "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves" (ourselves is a collective, alright, but it clearly refers to a collection of individuals, not of States (political organizations). The blogger is simply wrong-headed.

And, if you read "welfare" as applying to individuals, then the definition supports my thesis- that the Constitution, and the Founding Fathers, organized the U.S. to support the welfare of its citizens.

I'm trying to deal with a narrow point here - the contention that government has no business getting into the health care situation. Not to do with "Welfare" as in government support of poor people (which, however, is also definitely of governmental interest, it becomes that even if the national government takes no steps whatsoever to care for the indigent).

Poor health care costs the nation as a whole - and that means you and me, even if we as individuals are healthy as a horse. People in poor health have poor productivity, among other things. People in poor health drag the entire system down by decreasing the productivity of those who have to serve them, one way or another. Just the tip of the iceberg. When nations don't take care of their own, they pay for it in degradation, discontent, and eventually, in wholesale forced change, either internally or externally enforced. Not to mention in the lowering of simple humanity.

A healthy populace is a smarter, more productive populace. Even in simple self-interest, this should concern us all.
