Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Dem. says: " Constitution was designed to 'increase government power".....

[WAC]

He states......"The Constitution was enacted to strengthen government power to enable central government to lay taxes and to function effectively. We put limits on that through the Bill of Rights, but the Constitution was enacted for the opposite purpose," said Nadler.

He said that after former assistant U.S. attorney and self described conservative constitutionalist Andrew McCarthy argued during his testimony that the ...."principal purpose of the Constitution is to limit the power of government to intrude on the liberties and suppress the rights of the American people.".... Nadler said he wanted to make that "historical correction" because he hears people saying the contrary and "it really bothers me."
