todpat to txgovt: “When you read the Constitution, you’ll see your claim about gold was wrong. Good luck! “

Article 1 section 10 prohibits states from making any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.

Article 1 section 8 gives congress authority To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.

Have either sections been amended as would be required by the Constitution?

To: takenoprisoner; Tax Government
The government is required by the Constitution to implement a currency backed by gold;

Article 1 section 10 prohibits states from making any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.

Excellent, now we see the proof that Tax Government was incorrect. Glad I could help.
