This apparently plain provision has received a judicial construction .
In the year 1821 ,
the legislature of Maryland passed an act requiring that all importers of foreign articles ,
commodities , &
c .,
by the bale or package ,
of wine ,
rum , &
c .,
and other persons selling the same by wholesale ,
bale or package ,
hogshead ,
barrel or tierce ,
should ,
before they were authorized to sell ,
take out a license for which they were to pay fifty dollars ,
under certain penalties .
A question arose whether this act was or was not a violation of the constitution of the United States ,
and particularly of the above clause ,
and the supreme court decided against the constitutionality of the law .
