Tis said that...

but Do We?... I think so... I know we're supposed to... although you wouldn't know it by our own attitudes about self governance

...hence, our government taking every chance to gain more and more decision making power over our lives. Fortunately, there has been a large enough swath of americana that has kept their heads out of their ideological asses to know the difference between General Welfare and General Will. This will hopefully continue to keep us from voting in enough bad law and programs that would eventually become our own demise....

...for the time being

EVERY Citizen, especially those in favor of the federal government wiping their windshields for them should wake up and realize that our Bill of Rights was forced into the constitution by the ANTI Federalists who never wanted an overarching freedom killing FED.

This country was founded on the premise of limited government, especially the one in Washington.

GO figure...
