why is it, say, you can do these things, if you can also do anything else that promotes the general welfare?
Discussion
how does that make any sense?
in the case of an epidemic or a pandemic?
you’d have to fight that nationally somehow…
you could do that by cooperation among the states…
and even worldwide GOVT
cooperation among the nations…
think about COVID’19
we already have experienced
so there is a potential argument…
you’re gonna build up this GOVT
and it’s gonna be supreme for Int’l purposes
but only for they
almost all laws are made in a different way than they used to be made
most of the laws, the great majority ( 90% ) are not made in the Congress anymore
they’re made in these regulatory agencies
but in almost all cases, these regulatory agencies also enforce these laws and they also hear disputes that arise under these regulations they pass
so the 3 branches of GOVT are united in the single hands, as they are in the hands of the maker, of the creator, in the declaration of independence.
that’s a PROBLEM
that FORM is a PROBLEM
so when you have hundreds of lawmaking bodies, as we do now, then they start making these really technical, complex wrought laws
and nobody knows what they are
its’ so large now that it becomes a factor in the politics of the country, sort of as a separate interest
the GOVT is a separate interest now
and that is a PROBLEM
what are you going to do about that problem?
btw. it's a BIG PROBLEM
do we need a different kind of GOVT?
does the Founders’ Constitution enable the American people—by means of its system of representative government—to meet the new and pressing problems of today without compromising fundamental principles?
society could be organized in such a way that social ills would disappear
we need to move beyond the ideas of the Founders…
