The world is not yet finished, but everyone is behaving as if everything was known. This is not true.

James Madison

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.
