Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Import-Export Clause, also known as the Foreign Commerce Clause, grants Congress the power to regulate foreign commerce. This power includes the ability to limit state taxation on goods being exported or imported, which in turn limits the power of the states to tax in connection with foreign commerce. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments and the principle of separation of powers are not directly relevant to this issue.
