General-Welfare Power Law and Legal Definition
General-welfare power means the power exercised for the common benefit as distinguished from some mere local purpose. It provides sufficient power for many large-scale water resource projects and other internal improvements. Hence, general-welfare power includes the power:
to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises; and
to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the U.S.
