Constitution: Gov. Congress must make and use gold and silver money only then they can tax.
Confusion comes from to different Sections of Article 1. Section 8 gives the government,Congress, the right to make money and to tax. But then Section 10 makes section 8 narrow in it's scope. Section 10 specifies no State : (Federal Government is a State),
Section. 10.
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
Constitution says that they must use gold and Silver to pay debts or bills of credit and that must be paid in gold and silver only. Government can enter into debt but it must only borrow Gold and Silver.
Congress can not legitimize the Federal Reserve or the IRS because they are private companies that deal in paper fiat fake wealth.
Section. 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
