One of the hardest lessons for me was to learn that all those free trade models in economics class were wrong:

Yeah, apply that to the Constitution and see where it takes you....

You mean, all those professors that told me the Constitution was a living document that we should interpret in whatever way gives us the best results, is all WRONG? /sarc

In all seriousness, the problem with my economics classes in college was that they were taught by a libertarian, which gave me more trust than I would have in most professors.

Import tariffs were written into both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution.
