Why did the authors of the Constitution leave out the word "promote"?

[her209]

In the Preamble:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

In Article I, Section 8:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Why the difference?

Because if you don't change the words up it's plagiarism.

Because including it would sound awkward from a grammatical standpoint?

OK, then why include the words "and general Welfare"?

 

[Moonbeam]

Because when you are talking about creating a means to finance the government after enumerating its reasons for creation, the tasks you wish it to perform, you must then providing a means by which you intend it to be able to do so. Intentions are promoted, funding is provided.

Who cares? This government pays little to no attention to the Constitution anyway.
