I think you are being willfully ignorant. You seem intent on refusing to understand the feds have been charged with enforcing equal protection which by law does delegate a great deal of power over citizen 'rights' 'liberties' and pursuit of happiness.
Article 1 is all I need to swat your willful ignorance to the side. it empowers the Feds to suppress 'rebellions' which is certainly limiting the 'liberties'. The Necessary and Proper Clause is a barn door out for the Feds to limit 'liberties'. The article allows the feds to regulate commerce, money and bankruptcies... many conservatives howl over that loss of liberty.
But it's in the Constitution.
Article 2 sets up Federal Courts that certainly 'infringe' liberty- Congress can create and the federal courts enforce laws that many feel infringe on their 'liberties'
The 16th allows for direct federal taxation of income
The 18th was Prohibition- certainly infringed on 'liberty'.
So your citing Madison's OP-ED works and not addressing the ENTIRE Constitution was a fail from the git-go. A barstool argument that doesn't hold up to the real world...
But nice attempt at both dodging the facts and willful ignorance.
I have to ask- where did you get this no delegating stuff from???
eace
it is people like yourself, which do not understand constitutional law which why american government is out of balance and have the problems it does.
first : i stated the founders mansion and hamilton from the federalist saying the federal government had no power in the lives of the people, and that is 100% true!, meaning congress cannot make laws in the lives liberty and property of the people.
the federal government acts by law, if no laws are made in the personal lives of the people, then government has no authority over them and cannot violate their rights because it cannot act!
Madison’s federalist 45 states….. it is states powers which concern the lives liberty and property of the people
hamilton federalist 84 states, ……the federal government cannot regulate the people or their private business.
second.... i asked you for a delegated power [power listed in the constitituion] concerning the government having power in the people's lives
all the delegated powers of congress are known as General powers, meaning they are not defined.
one power of congress is to create a navy, however it is not possible to create a navy just using the delegated power of the constitution.
Necessary and Proper Clause means, the federal government can create federal laws from the General delegated navy power of article 1 section 8, it does not grant congress the power to create any law they want to, because that would not be a federal system, but a national system of government, and we have a federal government.
the congress's powers were limited by the states when they created the constitution, which created the federal government.
the states did not give the federal government power over them, there is no supremacy by the federal government over the state governments....as provided by article 1 section 8 clause 17
commerce in the constitution is AMONG THE STATES, meaning the congress has interstate commerce power to regulate among the state governments, not regulate the people, the federal government does not have intrastate powers to regulate inside of states.
