Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by export taxes levy's on former shipping

00:09

centers The constitution permits all of the following except what

00:15

here your pencil and permits all these off for these

00:18

air cool one is not i will if you think

00:21

about it questions over taxation like how much and who

00:24

can and why bother have been present since the inception

00:27

of the united states Columnists were upset with overbearing taxation

00:31

by the british especially because they didn't have a say

00:34

in how those taxes came to be well under the

00:37

articles of confederation and that was the founding fathers First

00:41

abbott the whole government thing congress didn't even have the

00:43

power to tax since the founders wanted the national government

00:47

to have a pretty limited set of tools when it

00:49

came to bossing states around But then came shay's rebellion

00:53

when a group of farmers in western massachusetts revolted against

00:56

taxes levied by the state to help pay down debt

00:58

from the revolutionary war That forced washington and the rest

01:02

of the good old gang to return to philadelphia with

01:04

hopes of creating a new governing document except this time

01:08

The national government would have the power to tax Does

01:12

the constitution permit a direct taxes new bet originally the

01:16

framers had the idea that states would pay taxes proportional

01:20

to that state's sheriff population like a property tax which

01:23

would synch up with population since property fell within each

01:26

of the state's boundaries Things got a bit more complicated

01:30

though when the u s government wanted to start taxing

01:32

people's incomes rather than just their property a tax collected

01:36

on income wouldn't necessarily line up with the state's population

01:40

In order to permit levying this kind of income tax

01:44

congress proposed and the state's ratified the sixteenth amendment which

01:48

allows congress toe levy in income tax independent from the

01:51

state's population But we can deduct a and b what

01:54

about e state income taxes Now the constitution tries to

01:58

stay out of the states way for the most part

02:01

and it wasn't about to interfere with an individual states

02:03

right to tax its own people to its heart's content

02:07

So he's out of here does the constitution permits seat

02:10

excise taxes well in excise tax is a tax on

02:13

a specific item or good like gasoline or cigarettes Well

02:16

in the early days of the u s the national

02:17

lawmakers needed a way to help generate funds for the

02:20

government's Operating expenses and excise taxes on whiskey tobacco and

02:24

sugar provided a reliable revenue stream for official between carve

02:28

out room for see Well that means the constitution does

02:31

not permit de export taxes The ban on export taxes

02:35

was a major part of the original negotiations During the

02:38

constitutional convention southern states were heavily dependent on exporting agricultural

02:43

products like cotton So they did everything in their power

02:46

to make sure export taxes were off the transactional table

02:49

So d is the correct answer Another north south deal

02:52

at the convention resulted in the three fist rule which

02:55

imposed rules on how to count slaves in congressional representation 00:02:59.975 --> [endTime] than atrocious legacy at a fraction of the cost
