What is happening today is just the opposite: it's the battle of SPECIAL INTERESTS to be put ahead of the general welfare. Many special interests groups want the public to support them via social programs such as for food stamps, public housing, child care, and health care. That is the EXACT opposite of what the constitution demands.

No, that is what YOUR definition means. Both the dictionary and I have a different meaning.
If you dispute the dictionary, then everything as we know it is fucked because nothing is what it seems.
Have you seen the percentage of Americans in favor of a single payer health system? How is the world is the majority a "special interest?"
