Davis, Jefferson, 1808-1889

"The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government"


[CSA] No State shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any
imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely
necessary for executing its inspection laws; and the net produce of all
duties and imposts, laid by any State on imports or exports, shall be
for the use of the Treasury of the _Confederate_ States; and all such
laws shall be subject to the revision and control of Congress.
[USA] No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of
Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any
Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or
engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as
will not admit of Delay.
[CSA] No State shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty _on_
tonnage, _except on sea-going vessels for the improvement of its rivers
and harbors navigated by the said vessels; but such duties shall not
conflict with any treaties of the Confederate States with foreign
nations. And any surplus revenue thus derived shall, after making such
improvement, be paid into the common Treasury; nor shall any_ State keep
troops or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement of
compact with another State, or with a foreign power, or engage in war
unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of
delay. _But when any river divides or flows through two or more States,
they may enter into compacts with each other to improve the navigation
thereof.
