Reading edition
Articles of Confederation, Art. VI., IX. The expression in the sixth article was: "No State shall lay any imposts, &c. that shall interfere with any stipulations in treaties entered into by the United States with any king, prince, or state, in pursuance of any treaties already proposed by Congress to the court of France and Spain." The ninth article saved to the States the general power of levying duties and laying prohibitions.
