## Definition

A General Welfare Clause claim refers to a legal argument challenging the constitutionality of a law or government action based on the interpretation and application of the General Welfare Clause found in the United States Constitution. This claim asserts that the law or action exceeds the scope of the federal government's authority by not promoting the general welfare of the people, as mandated by the Clause, and therefore may be unconstitutional.
