The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same state, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things in short which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction . . . the attempt to exercise these powers would be as troublesome as it would be nugatory; and the possession of them, for that reason, would contribute nothing to the dignity, to the importance, or to the splendour of the national government.

More From Alexander Hamilton

To refer the power in question to the clause "to provide for the common defense and general welfare" would be contrary to the established and consistent rules of interpretation, as rendering the special and careful enumeration of powers which follow the clause nugatory and improper. such a view of the constitution would have the effect of giving to congress a general power of legislation instead of the defined and limited one hitherto understood to belong to them, the terms "common defense and general welfare" embracing every object and act within the purview of a legislative trust.

The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. in its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.
Government Foundation Ordinary
Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

For me the two biggest issues are climate change and animal welfare/animal agriculture. and oddly enough animal agriculture is such a contributor to climate change. according to the united nations, 25% of climate change comes from animal agriculture, so every car, bus, boat, truck, airplane combined has less co2 and methane emissions than animal agriculture.

I think that all countries of the region should join their efforts in the fight against a common threat - terrorism in general and isis in particular. it concerns iran as well, it concerns saudi arabia (although the two countries do not get along very well, isis threatens both of them), it concerns jordan, it concerns turkey (in spite of certain problems regarding the kurdish issue), and, in my opinion, everybody is interested in resolving the situation. our task is to join these efforts to fight against a common enemy.
Country Fighting Thinking
The very reason why we object to state ownership, that it puts a stop to individual initiative and to the healthy development of personal responsibility, is the reason why we object to an unsupervised, unchecked monopolistic control in private hands. we urge control and supervision by the nation as an antidote to the movement for state socialism. those who advocate total lack of regulation, those who advocate lawlessness in the business world, themselves give the strongest impulse to what i believe would be the deadening movement toward unadulterated state socialism.
