babadono Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 ^yea pretty sure that is not the joke above.

However, if it is the Declaration then it is not a legal document, as of course someone as smart as you would know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 According to Wal-Mart, it is The Declaration Of Independence. At least Franklin appears to be holding it right side up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious why the emphasis on "promote the general welfare" Just an artifact from where it was copied from? Or what? Or is that too political a question?

Or what? Or is that too political a question? Oldie was relying on that language to controvert the assertion in the meme - i.e., to show that the "general Welfare" clause allows the government to shut down everything. If this is a proper construction of the clause, then it renders as superfluous every other clause granting powers to Congress. Nevertheless, it has been relied upon by courts and scholars to support a construction of the Constitution which gives Congress powers which aren't specifically listed within the enumerated ones. For example, the "general Welfare" clause was relied upon by the US SCt in Helvering to hold that Social Security was authorized by the Constitution.
