From what I understand, it would limit the scope of the federal government. America was founded as a republic with 50 powerful state governments and a relatively weak federal government that concerns itself with a small handful of tasks (such as declaring war).

Instead, the legislative branch of the federal government is allocating money for free condoms (not their jurisdiction) and giving power to the President to engage in war (shirking their duties).

I admire America's founding documents as nothing short of brilliant, but they seem to be disregarded or interpreted as we please.
