uniform

uniform
Noun: Clothing of a prescribed color and tailoring, as worn by members of the Armed Forces, pupils in certain schools, and employees in certain trades and occupations. Adjective: Without variation. Conforming to a standard. As the word is used in the first paragraph of section 8, article 1, of the United States Constitution, providing that all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States, this word is to be understood in what has been termed its "geographical" sense, or as meaning uniformity as to all the taxpayers similarly situated with regard to the subject matter of the tax. Nicol v Ames, 173 US 509, 521, 43 L Ed 786, 794, 19 S Ct 522. That is to say, wherever a subject is taxed anywhere, it must be taxed everywhere throughout the United States, and at the same rate. Knowlton v Moore, 178 US 41, 84, 44 L Ed 969, 987, 20 S Ct 747. See act of uniformity.
