James Madison, who was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and the fourth President of the United States, called for interstate trade without double taxes. He believed that the federal government should regulate commerce between the states to prevent states from imposing tariffs or other trade barriers on each other. This idea was enshrined in the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, which gives Congress the power to regulate commerce among the states.
