Acknowledge the Typographical Error in Article One, Section Ten, Clause Two of the U.S. Constitution

Created by R.D. on November 03, 2013

Currently, Article One, Section Ten, Clause Two of the United States Constitution says:
"No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress."
This is not the possessive form of "its." This contraction currently changes the meaning of this clause to "except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it is inspection Laws."
Please acknowledge this clause to help avoid any misunderstandings.
