i think that people need to read the federalist papers to get an understanding of the constitution |
Personally, I think you're all women - easily distracted from the issue at hand. Back to the basics, now!
Actually, the Federalist papers were circulated to the states to encourage them to ratify the Constitution which, at the time, many of the original states were not inclined to do. They were meant to put in plain English (which was spoken at the time) what the Constitution meant. Many states didn't want another central government to take over where the one they just threw out left off. The Federalist papers were sent out to explain that this document and the federal government it would spawn would protect the freedom that they had all just fought for, not limit it. |

Defense of marriage act and patriot act have no constitutional basis. But the US military? Have you ever even read the constitution, you fucking moron? The constitution created the US military! |

well, technically it allows for congress:
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

it didn't technically create anything of the sort, though. |
