One of the major fears America's founders had was states making protectionist policies favoring in-state commerce over out of state commerce. Protectionism disrupts commerce, contributing to less efficiency in the marketplace. State in the 1780's under the Articles of Confederation were passing protectionist policies against foreign & interstate commerce in favor of domestic commerce. Plus, states cannot tax ANY foreign imports. Neither level of government can tax exports. States can still tax imports from other states for revenue purposes only.
The New Confederate States of America is a free-enterprise, anti-mercantilist, free trade, & anti-corperatist society. Free commerce is part of the Confederacy.
