What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
My voting record of cutting taxes, rebuilding our military, securing the border, opposing debt ceiling increases, defunding Planned Parenthood, supporting the Second Amendment, and supporting the balanced budget amendment.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Repeal and replace Obamacare with a market-based system that reduces premiums, protects those with preexisting conditions, and ensures rural access to care.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government should get out of the way by reducing regulations and cutting taxes.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
The tax cuts should be made permanent.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
The best way to reduce unemployment is through a growing economy led by cutting taxes and red tape.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
The federal government must keep its commitment to our seniors. The best way to ensure the long-term viability of Social Security is to continue the pro-growth policies of President Trump and Republicans.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am honored to serve as Montana's lone voice in the U.S. House of Representatives. My background as an entrepreneur and small business owner, who created hundreds of high-paying Montana jobs and the largest commercial employer in Bozeman, has helped me represent Montana in Congress. The business that I started and grew with my wife Susan was centered around customer service, and providing high-quality service to the people of Montana is one of my top priorities, whether it's helping, for example, a veteran who is having problems with the VA or a senior who is not receiving her Social Security check.
