Enumerated powers. Specifically say your wrong.The Founding Fathers warned about allowing the Central Gov't to get too large. Said it would lead to Corruption and abuse of Power.
They were correct. Limited Gov't with States governing themselves was their intent. FDR killed that.Absolutely incorrect and wrong headed as that was NEVER the Framer's intent. The entire idea of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia was to shed the unworkable Articles of Confederation with the, "Limited Gov't with States governing themselves" paradigm and relegate that unworkable foolishness to the eternal pile of failed experiments and, "...form a more perfect union...."They were correct. Limited Gov't with States governing themselves was their intent.
The Anti-Federalists lost that argument you're pushing on the day the US Constitution was ratified in 1788. It's past time for you 'hangers on of outmoded failed ideas' to acknowledge the lessons of history.
The only Founding Fathers who desired what your pushing were the ones desiring to maintain the status quo, and they lost in 1788. You people really need to read some ACTUAL history and not this partisan propagandized new age sophistry. I suggest starting with the Federalist Papers to begin finding the TRUTH! You should start with Federalist #10 and read what Madison wrote about the pitfalls of faction and the fracturing of unity via factions withing the body politic!
Which clause(s) of Article I § 8 proclaim I'm in error regarding the Anti-Federalist's failed attempt at maintaining the status quo at retaining the Articles of Confederation or for that matter another form of that loose confederation of States rather than the UNION of States under the Constitution?Enumerated powers. Specifically say your wrong.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph man, the Enumerated powers are nothing more that the DIRECT powers of Congress among their other powers, WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION which is the document that did away with "Limited Gov't with States governing themselves", the Articles of Confederation, and perfected, "...a more perfect union...." You can't cite a single clause of the 18 in that section of Article I that has a thing to do with what you're claiming.
Clearly, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about!
