relations, the constitution provides that "no tax or duty shall be laid on 
articles exported from any state." Art. 1, s. 9. And to prevent a pernicious 
interference with the commerce of the nation, the 10th section of the 1st 
article of the constitution contains the following prohibition: "No state 
shall, without the consent of congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports 
or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its 
inspection laws; and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any 
state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the 
United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and 
control of the congress." Vide 12 Wheat. 419; and the article Importation.
