XIII
No State, without the consent of the Legislature
of the United States, shall emit bills of credit, or
make any thing but specie a tender in payment of
debts; nor lay imposts or duties on imports; nor
keep troops or ships of war in time of peace; nor
enter into any agreement or compact with another
State, or with any foreign power; nor engage in any
war, unless it shall be actually invaded by enemies,
or the danger of invasion be so imminent, as not to
admit of a delay, until the Legislature of the United
States can be consulted.
