Actually there is reference to it in Article I Section 8: ". . . provide for the common defense and general Welfare of the United States . . ."

Helvering v. Davis - 1937. Social Security was challenged and found Constitutional in large part based on the General Welfare clause, rejecting Madison and adopting Hamilton.

Writing for the 7-2 majority, Justice Cardozo held that Congress was given the power to spend money for the public good under the General Welfare Clause. Hence, the Social Security Act did not violate the 10th Amendment. The Court would defer to Congress in determining what legislative acts served the general welfare. Congress itself would be the monitor of what Congress would do.

Thanks for catching that, Jacquerie. I should have learned by now, not to comment on constitutional issues without thoroughly reading through the Articles and Amendments, first.

My mistake.

Then it will be up to The People to overturn, along with the entire Communist agenda and infiltration of our country.

Writing for the 7-2 majority of sissies who were deathly afraid of FDR packing the court, along with whatever socialists FDR had gotten on there, Justice Cardozo held that Congress was given the power to spend money for the public good under the General Welfare Clause

There, fixed it.
