Guess who and when? “If Congress can apply money indefinitely to
the general welfare and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare,
they may take the care of religion into their own hand, they may establish
teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public
treasure; they may take into their own hands the education of children,
establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union, they may undertake
the regulation of all roads, other than post roads. In short everything from the highest object
of state legislation down to the most minute object of police would be thrown
under the power of Congress.” James
Madison, 1791
