the constitution is not hard, only for those that try to make it hard, everything is the constitution is explained by the founders, jay, Hamilton ,and Madison, only those things which are self evident are not explained, ....example: i dont need an explanation, that i have to be 35 yrs old to be senator.
Madison states commerce is a problem between the states under the articles, and to solve this problem the power of commerce between the states [ meaning state governments] is given handed over the the new federal government, so there will no longer be trade wars and barriers, which the states engaged in...not the people.
commerce inside of a state is left to the state to decide.
no way in the world can a man growing wheat in his field, so he can feed it to his cattle mean the federal government should regulate all commerce in america in the Wickard v. Filburn case.
Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942), was a United States Supreme Court decision that recognized the power of the federal government to regulate economic activity.
A farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat for on-farm consumption in Ohio. The U.S. government had established limits on wheat production based on acreage owned by a farmer, in order to drive up wheat prices during the Great Depression, and Filburn was growing more than the limits permitted. Filburn was ordered to destroy[citation needed] his crops and pay a fine, even though he was producing the excess wheat for his own use and had no intention of selling it.
The Supreme Court interpreted the United States Constitution's Commerce Clause under Article 1 Section 8, which permits the United States Congress "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes". The Court decided that Filburn's wheat growing activities reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for chicken feed on the open market, and because wheat was traded nationally, Filburn's production of more wheat than he was allotted was affecting interstate commerce. Thus, Filburn's production could be regulated by the federal government.
