Good point! I’m not a constitutional scholar but I think basically all of those except “general welfare” are related to defense and peacekeeping.

I’d forgotten about “general welfare” and now I wonder how that got in there considering it didn’t really make it anywhere else in the founding vision.

Maybe they didn’t intend it like our modern reading at all?



Sure, let’s just discard the evidence that doesn’t fit our preconceived beliefs!
