I think the FF drafted the constitution with "necessary evil" in mind and as a reaction to the monarchy heritage of the "old world" they left behind. I think the monarchy is viewed as "taking care" of the people which comes with oppressive non-representative taxation.
I am one that think the US government has grown much to big and has it's hand in much to much. I am somewhat of a consitutionalist/libertarian views there. But, I also do see that there is alot which the founding fathers didn't anticipate.
The problem is that the interpretation of "promote the the general welfare" can be drastically different when viewed by many people.
