How was federal government funded before federal income taxes?
Article I, The Constitution of the united States of America.Section. 8. "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,...... but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"Section. 9."No Capitation, (head tax) or other direct, Tax shall be laid, .""No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."　Above, is the law governing taxes by the Federal government before the income tax and other taxes placed upon incomes (i.e. Social Security, etc.).Duties are tariffs upon imported goods. Imposts are an extra tariff placed upon goods imported or exported out of the nation. And Excises are generally a tax placed upon a good, foreign or domesticSection 8 gave Congress the power "to Tax," also. This relates to and is regulated by Section 9. The Congress could place a tax upon the States, but it had to be placed based upon the population of each state vs. the population of other states or by "Proportion." (To my knowledge, this was never used).After the War between the States (American Civil War), an Impost Tax was placed upon goods imported and exported to and from Confederate States and Union States. This Impost is still good today. This was to punish the Confederate States, but the Constitution does not prohibit the use, because it says:"No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."It does not say any thing about "Impost." So, this is how they justified its use.President Thomas Jefferson called the system fair, because the rich bought the foreign goods with taxes upon them, while, the poorer farmer did not receive the burden of taxation.
Constitutional limitations of taxation?
Constitutional limitations.Observance of due process of law and equal protection of the laws. (sec, 1, Art. 3) Any deprivation of life , liberty or property is with due process if it is done under the authority of a valid law and after compliance with fair and reasonable methods or procedure prescribed. The power to tax, can be exercised only for a constitutionally valid public purpose and the subject of taxation must be within the taxing jurisdiction of the state. The government may not utilize any form of assessment or review which is arbitrary, unjust and which denies the taxpayer a fair opportunity to assert his rights before a competent tribunal. All persons subject to legislation shall be treated alike under like circumstances and conditions, both in the privileges conferred in liabilities imposed. Persons and properties to be taxed shall be group, and all the same class shall be subject to the same rate and the tax shall be administered impartially upon them.Rule of uniformity and equity in taxation (sec 28(1)Art VI) All taxable articles or properties of the same class shall be taxed at the same rate. Uniformity implies equality in burden not in amount. Equity requires that the apportionment of the tax burden be more or less just in the light of the taxpayers ability to bear the tax burden.No imprisonment for non-payment of poll tax (sec. 20, Art III) A person cannot be imprisoned for non-payment of community tax, but may be imprisoned for other violations of the community tax law, such as falsification of the community tax certificate, or for failure to pay other taxes.Non-impairment of obligations and contracts, sec 10, Art III . the obligation of a contract is impaired when its terms and conditions are changed by law or by a party without the consent of the other, thereby weakening the position or the rights of the latter. IF a tax exemption granted by law and of the nature of a contract between the taxpayer and the government is revoked by a later taxing law, the said law shall not be valid, because it will impair the obligation of contract.Prohibition against infringement of religious freedom Sec 5, Art III, it has been said that the constitutional guarantee of the free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, which carries the right to disseminate religious belief and information, is violated by the imposition of a license fee on the distribution and sale of bibles and other religious literatures not for profit by a non-stock, non-profit religious corporation.Prohibition against appropriations for religious purposes, sec 29, (2) Art. VI, Congress cannot appropriate funds for a private purpose, or for the benefit of any priest, preacher or minister or for the support of any sect, church except when such priest, preacher, is assigned to the armed forces or to any penal institutions, orphanage or leprosarium.exemption of all revenues and assets of non-stock, non-profit educational institutions used actually, directly, and exclusively for educational purposes from income, property and donor's taxes and custom duties (sec. 4 (3 and 4) art. XIV.Concurrence by a majority of all members of Congress in the passage of a law granting tax exemptions. Sec. 28 (4) Art. VI.Congress may not deprive the Supreme Court of its jurisdiction to review, revise, reverse, modify or affirm on appeal or certiorari, final judgments and orders of lower courts in all cases involving the legality of any tax, impost, assessment or any penalty imposed in the relation thereto.

In the united states, there is no minimum or maximum impost for a race horse to carry. The handicapper will assign various weights in an attempt to make the race as equal as possible for all horses in the race. The highest impost I personally have heard of is 138 pounds.
What is the lead weight carried by jockeys in a handicap race?
The lead weights are put into the saddle pad in order to add weight to that of the jockey so they meet the impost set forth by the racing secretary. The impost is a weight assigned in handicapping races in an attempt to equalize the chances for all of the horses in the race. "Better" horses are assigned higher imposts.
