On Wednesdays we study the Constitution. Last week I finished Article 1, Section 9 (ostensibly limiting the powers of Congress) with the Emoluments Clause. This week I’m starting Article 1, Section 10, which limits the powers of the states. Article 1 §10.1 is kind of a laundry list, and much of it parallels the powers and limitations of Congress. The Annotated Constitution has 40 pages of case law and interpretation of it’s various phrases. I’ll try to be more concise.
