If Congress sees fit to impose a capitation, or other direct tax, it must be laid in proportion to the census; if Congress determines to impose duties, imposts, and excises, they must be uniform throughout the United States.

When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding.
