General welfare- the way I see it

James Madison was right, when he explained the limitations of the Government, concerning general welfare.
Concerning the "General Welfare" clause of the Constitution, Madison remarked that when the government is the supreme judge of the common welfare, it limits the freedom of the people.this clause explains that when the government pushes the boundaries of the general welfare, it cannot opperate as God designed.
Madison warned that if, the government was not kept in check, it would, by the excuse of managing welfare, dominate the lives of Americans.Many regulations which are warned of are already happening.Public schools, regulating roads (toll booths- taxation) and religion are all being meddled with by the government.All of these organizations are to be handled by the good will of the people.Yet the U.S. Government today has seen it profitable to regulate many such things.
Many Americans do not realize that freedoms are being taken away because they do not know about them in the first place. This is often becasue the government schools do not fund such information.
The fact that the general welfare is being solely managed by the government, is not a light matter.The citizens of the United States of America need to fulfill their God-given duty of standing for freedom.
Americans ought to know how Government should opperate, and strive for that goal.
