A Progressive Government Amendment

How about this?

It permits but does not require both federal and state progressive government in the specific shapes of the regulatory and welfare states.

It also permits and again does not require much, but not all, civil rights legislation mistakenly based on the 14th Amendment equal protection clause.

Section 1.

The Congress shall have power concurrent with the states to regulate intra-state commerce, in addition to its powers elsewhere defined in this Constitution.

Section 2.

The Congress shall have power concurrent with the states to provide for the health, education, well-being, and retirement of some or all American citizens, or such other residents of the United States as it shall decide by law, in such manner as it shall decide by law.
