Good point! I’m not a constitutional scholar but I think basically all of those except “general welfare” are related to defense and peacekeeping.
I’d forgotten about “general welfare” and now I wonder how that got in there considering it didn’t really make it anywhere else in the founding vision.
Maybe they didn’t intend it like our modern reading at all?
