Limiting Federal Regulation

Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution includes the following clause: "The Congress shall have power...To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." While the patent clause may seem clear to casual readers, it is packed with nuance and reflects the Founding Fathers' own fears about the future of their young country. In this constitutional commentary and case against the ever-expanding federal government, Paul A. Ballonoff examines these issues, among others. The patent clause actually prohibits much of the regulation which the federal government currently carries out: The discussion that took place at the Constitutional Convention regarding the clause's inclusion The limits of Congress How the federal government ignores these limitations How the federal government claims state powers Future problems these actions may cause Ballonoff's intention isn't solely to anger you about the power stolen by the federal government but to propose solutions to correct the course of our great nation. He presents his discussions about the Constitution in simple terms so that every single citizen can understand this incredibly important part of our nation's law of the land.
