And one of the things that the constitution provides to the federal government is the right to regulate the transit of goods across the border.

Governments don't have rights, people do. Governments have POWERS, ceded to them by the people. You are upside down again.

So, if someone makes an Edison light bulb in the state, and sells it in the state, the FedGov has no POWER to say squat about it.

Same with cannibis. Although states do retain the POWER to regulate that traffic.

Read the constitution. Yes, the constitution, grants certain rights to the government.

Among these rights are the right to regulate the transit of goods across the border. It also grants the state the right to form an assembly, explains how the people are to be represented, that elections are to be held every 4 years, etc.

It’s all there. One of the rights that the CONSTITUTION grants the government is the right to enforce tariffs on goods that enter the nation.

Go read it yourself.
