The U.S. Constitution never mentions free trade. It says we are to collect taxes, Duties and regulate Commerce with foreign Nations. Our Founding Fathers knew what was best for our nation and it wasn't Free Trade with its unregulated, no-tariff economy. Free Trade causes trade deficits. Free trade increases unemployment and reduces U.S. growth and wages. Free trade erodes our standard of living and encourages the transfer of production to workers in foreign countries who pay no taxes to America, making it harder to buy American-made products.
