Uniformity Clause

The Uniformity Clause is a principle in the United States Constitution that requires any tax imposed by the government to be applied uniformly across all states. This means that federal taxes, such as income tax or import duties, must be implemented consistently so that they do not unfairly favor one region or group over another. The goal of the clause is to ensure fairness and equality in how taxes are collected and prevent discrimination in taxation based on geographic location. This reflects the broader idea of equal treatment under the law.
