The Federal govt has few duties.
Establish Justice, 
Insure domestic Tranquility, 
Provide for the common defense, 
Promote the general Welfare, 
Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity (Children)
Lots of fat to cut on the bone there...Lots of it...

There would have been no WWII if our STRONG FEDERAL GOVT. had kept their noses out of European affairs 20 years earlier.  By intervening on the side of the Brits and French, we set the stage for an even bloodier conflict 20 years later.
