What does the motto The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law mean?

This motto (L. Salus populi suprema lex esto) means that no one individual's desires or well-being shall be put above the good of the community as a whole. This is Missouri's state motto, so it may be assumed that this was written in the interest of the state as the size of the community, though this could potentially be attached to any size population. Most altruistically, following such a motto as a societal tenant would disallow poverty, greed, etc. Everyone would live in as much of an ideal to their desired station and capacity in life as would be of mutual benefit to the society entire. Taken to it's extreme though, each individual would be assigned a value in their society and if their existence was detrimental to the society as a whole compared to their absence from it, they would be removed.

How does the economics of welfare relate to the scarcity of resources?

EconomicsOpportunity cost is the cost in terms of the best alternative forgone. Holding valuable land out of use until the owner deems it most profitable creates huge problems for cities, public infrastructure cost, community vitality and environmental health. It is a primary cause of the dual problems of urban blight and suburban sprawl. For the landowner, the opportunity cost of using land today is the higher price or profit that could be gained in the future and since land tends to increase in value as population and production increase, there is a built-in incentive to wait. Yet, for society at large, the opportunity cost of valuable land being withheld from use is both the production and employment that doesn't happen on that site, and the cost of providing services and infrastructure to a less-suitable site, farther from where the action is. Another way to think about the notion of opportunity costs is to remember that human desires are unlimited, and people seek to satisfy their desires with the least exertion. Thus, we all must make choices about how we wish to use our labour, and the products of our labour, to get what we want.

What were the founding fathers views on welfare?

I think they would be very surprised at the creation of welfare. In their time the churches took care of the poor, not the government. It was felt that people needed help, but they also needed to help themselves. In London when a person owed a lot of money he/she couldn't pay they were put in debtors prison. Churches also ran work houses for the poor. The Catholic church had workhouses and laundries where girls and women were assigned to work because they were considered to be of illrepute. Some of these still existed in Ireland into the 1970's. It was a whole different world in the 1700's . About 90% of the population were farmers and the 10% that wasn't farming were business owners, lawyers, factory workers, sailors, and other things. Slaves were also a factor in the colonies. So, this world was completely different from what we have today.
