I don’t have time to quote everything in the constitution, Why don’t you tell me where the federal Government got it’s money from prior to 1860.

Prior to 1860 the federal government was funded almost entirely by import tariffs and by sale of public lands, with a few minor excise taxes.

I’m not asking you to quote large segments of the Constitution or federal law, simply the commerce clause you claim was modified in 1830 to allow export tariffs.

I suspect what you done is garbled an account of the Tariff of Abominations.
