    The wording in Article 1 section 8 is "Promote the General Welfare" which is a far cry from Providing for the General Welfare. Promote and Provide are not the same thing and should not be conflated.

      +Alma Gordon Correct. Further, the federal government is not allowed to exceed its authority in promoting the general welfare. It cannot, for example, force American citizens to buy health insurance by simply declaring that this promotes the general welfare. That is not an enumerated power the parent states delegated to its subordinate federal government.

      Alma Gordon .. Not true.. section 8 states “provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States”. At the beginning of the Constitution it states promote, but not in section 8. I believe it should state it exactly the same as it does in the very first paragraph of the Constitution “..to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
      Notice at the beginning it states something distinctly different.. I believe they fd up when they wrote section 8 and meant provide defense and promote well being.. wish I could go back in time and tell them they fd up :-/

I ran into some one I hadn't seen in years at walmart. We hugged. I wore a bandana cuz my neighbor told me to. I felt like a gangbanger or biker and took it off. Then I went to help a friend fix his headlight. Just another day for me. Ignorance is bliss. I ignored and I was happy. Nobody listens when I bicker. So I won't listen to them bickering. Besides. I saw the queen's royal subjects out n about. Chillin in parks and on the beach. Shopping n whatnot. SUBJECTS. Not free individuals. Subjects defying "orders."

    Keyword: "or"
    The State does not supercede the people as an entity. The State merely exists as general representative embodiment of the people. When we forget that a state that infringes on its residents and assumes dominion over them is unconstitutional due to an aforementioned clause in The Ninth, applying to Federal Rights and Freedoms as well, we wind up with feudalism. I can not stress the interpretation of "or" any greater at this juncture.

    *Here's notes for those kids who are being told to take notes on this video, I did it for you:*
    Tenth Amendment - Reserved Powers
    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
    marriage is a reserved power by the 10th amendment
    think of reserved powers this way:
    if your parents were going to put everything that is needed to do on the fridge, where you were going to go for vacation, what food your parents are going to make for dinner- those are delegated powers, powers given to your parents
    if you had a poster in your room you'd assume what you wrote on it- is what you can do.
    10th amendment limits the federal power by giving that power to the states and the people
    Separation of powers: an act of vesting the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government in separate bodies.

Texas hate on abortion/family planning, not the same for California. Until the Supreme Court say, 'this affect all citizens' then it's only for certain people. So, know your rights.

      Since they were apart of the original Constitution in it’s original unamendmend form which was ratified in 1788, but nullified when the 10th Amendment was ratified with the other Bill of Rights in 1791. Wouldn’t the 10th Amendment override and replace the the General Welfare, Interstate commerce, and and Elastic clauses?
      If there’s a conflicion between the any Articles of the Constitution (the base Constitution) and a Constitutional Amendments (the expansions), doesn’t the Amendments come out on top?

    an amendment supercedes the powered of what came before it. It's true that the Commerce clause is vague and muddys up the 10th amendment if you assume they are equal, but they aren't. Amend means to fix or adjust.
    the Commerce clause specifically refers to interstate commerce alone not commerce within a state. It also only refers to regulation not legislation. The difference is that regulation is a specific type of legislation. Regulation means to make regular (consistant) Regulations are limited in power but wide in scope whereas legislation is wide in scope and power.
    also commerce means voluntary trade, or buying and selling. It does not mean labor relations or price or product quality controls.

      To clarify, the preamble states "provide for the common defence, PROMOTE the general welfare." There's a huge difference between provide and promote, and the terms were used with precision.

      Technically the tenth amendment should prohibit the state and federal government from having any jurisdiction or authority over anyone who doesn't vote,by not voting a citizen is not consenting to be GOVERNED therefore all powers over those should be to themselves the people.

      The best sanctuary criminals can have is using the threat of deportation by the cops to get their victims to not cooperate with the police. Cops who have serious concerns like trafficking people to be used as sex slaves have the right priority when they don't have to act as ICE agents, though when they catch the ringleaders but can't convict them it is handy to have the option to hand them over to ICE.

    Regarding the contradictory nature of the 10th amendment and article 1 section 8, I think it all comes down to how you interpret the Constitution. In the historical context it was written, interstate commerce was de facto limited, so there the contradiction is nowhere to be found. But now, everything is interstate commerce (think of internet commerce), so the literal interpretation effectively nullifies the 10th amendment.

    Completely agree. Here In LA our governor has bought the idea that education can be run like a factory assembly line.

Of course this completely negates the human experiences such as home life, sudden traumatic events, etc. that factor in to those sorts of things.

Justice Roberts ruled this isn’t interstate commerce but a tax. Even the Democrats were surprised by that.

    Justice Scalia, and I'm paraphrasing, has said the 10th Amendment was redundant as it was inherent in the understanding of Constitutionalism that powers not delegated we're reserved. According to him that was, apparently not good enough for the anti-Federalists though as the insisted it be added to the Bill of Rights.

    • @TheBennett388
      @TheBennett388 8 лет назад

      It used to be that the 2nd only applied to the feds, so Cali back then could have gotten away with banning literally all guns. Now though the 14th has been interpreted to mean that states can't restrict constitutional rights, so they can only push it so far. In "DC vs Heller" the supreme court ruled that a handgun ban is going too far, so California could not outright ban handguns. But states still have a lot of leeway in what they can do before it gets too far, and even then a case about it would have to be brought up all the way to the SC

      2. This constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.
      3. The senators and representatives before-mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

    One thing that affects certain states is minimum wage. Although people are pushing for a $15 minimum wage, it won't spread for all. Colorado & Georgia have lower than any minimum wage. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, South Colorado have no minimum wage, meaning they will pay you less or more than Federal wage. Notice that these are all Red (GOP) states. Sorry people, you're screwed because you like how badly you live because you continue to vote for it.

    Mr. Hughes I have loved your series so far, but why is it every time you bring up hay marriage you also bring up the 14th Amendment. That amendment as you so put it multiple times states that "the state" can not deny equal protection under the law, but in states where hay marriage is banned those bans were imposed by constitutional amendments to the state constitution. I would argue that the state isn't violating the 14th amendment is those cases since those bans were not imposed by the state legislatures but the people. Which by the 10 amendment a reserved power to be justified by the people and is not subject to the 14th amendment.

    • @hiphughes
      @hiphughes  10 лет назад

      Danny, By no state they are referring to any process by which the "state" enacts public policy. "under the law"...The people are the state.... whatever process led to its ban was done by a law..... Surely a referendum in California for say seizing Mailbu Mansions to house the homeless would be unconstitutional. Therefore whether its a state amendment, law, referendum, paper/rock/scissors game; if it denies a citizen the same protection as another no matter how popular it is unconstitutional. You can't use democracy to vote on equal rights. At least that is how I see the cookie crumbling. I think the conservative argument is less in strict interpretation than original intent of the 14th (ie slaughterhouse cases) but its till a stretch. Great question by the way. And of course I am sure there are other ways of spinning that bottle. Peace, HipHughes

    • @CrazyGamerJC-YT
      @CrazyGamerJC-YT 10 лет назад

      I can understand your argument and as you can tell I'm one of those "bible toting, evil, white, conservative, southern boys" as libs like to put it. I still don't see how the federal government or even the Supreme Court can overturn a state referendum that passed with a 4/5 vote of the people. See in your argument like with most libs out there then the government can and HAS used the 14th amendment to over ride the free exercise clause. As seen with the florist in Oregon, baker in Colorado, and photographer in Arizona. But how can they use the 14th amendment so liberally when I could in turn state that I have a right under the the free exercise clause to practice my religion through in all parts of my life. See in all three cases the individuals were not discriminating against homosexuals because the we're gay. All three had previously performed services for homosexuals and the lady in Oregon had even hired a few. See when you argue liberty I can say that the government can not tell me that I must perform services that violate my religious beliefs and if you attempt to interpret the 14th amendment in a way that's says they can then what do individuals have left to hold on to to prevent the government from shutting down churches? Which I promise YOU GLAD and FFRF want to do. See I've heard your quote Jefferson many times, but Jefferson, though very vague in his own religious beliefs, was a champion of religious liberty and I have to believe based on his own writing would support the right of religious liberty and the rights of the states in both cases.

    First, Congress doesn't nor does it have any power to arrest people.
    Second, that power doesn't come from the misinterpreted and bastardized commerce clause it comes from jurisdiction.
    The federal gov't has exclusive jurisdiction over Washington, DC, military fa ilities (read: air bases, army posts, naval ports, docks, piers, etc) and federal enclaves within states.
    The federal gov't doesn't have ubiquitous jurisdiction throughout the U.S.
