You might want to read that entire section of the Constitution. That should clear up your confusion.
No confusion. Would you like (try to) to ‘enlighten’ me?
A1S8: The Congress shall have Power...To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
A1S10: No State shall...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;
I see any Power granted to Congress to PRINT $$, nor give that authority to any 3rd party (Fed. Reserve). Nor do I see where States are obligated to take ONLY what the Fed. offers (aside from that noted above).
At the worst, I see only the authority to COIN, and, since A1S10 states States can only take gold/silver, why would Congress make anything BUT?! One does not need the full faith and trust for gold/silver to be of any ‘worth’, but a piece of paper....
Maybe your own copy has a few more ‘grey areas’?
