Congress was granted the power to promote the general welfare of the nation by the Constitution of the United States. It means that Congress should provide laws that are in keeping with the principles of the self governed. It means that Congress may provide legislation that acts in a general best interest of a nation. It does not mean that Congress should create legislation that plunders the people in order to redistribute wealth. It does not provide for any entitlements for certain people. It is a general granting of powers to keep the melodies of each state in perfect harmony.
