Wrong. All it means is that the powers specifically granted in the Constitution are to be exercised for the general welfare rather than the particular welfare.
90% of what Congress does isn't authorized by the Constitution.
Libertarians look at the Constitution as some type of cookbook detailing the recipes and ingredients that future generations are allowed to use
The Constitution provides a broad framework of how our government should be structured. It provides a kitchen from which future generations can decide what they want to cook
There's nothing broad about it. What the government has done is usurp it and the Amendment process.
Idiot.
You have obviously not read it. It does not provide specific instructions until it gets to the bill of rights. Even then, it provides broad guidance on specific rights that needed the courts to interpret their scope and applicability
