Article 10 of our Constitution: "Each individual of the Society has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, according to standing laws. He is obliged, consequently, to contribute his share to the expense of this pro- tection ;- "It is under this Constitutional provision that taxes are levied against persons. The land is only collateral, or secur- ity for the tax in the event that the persons do not pay.
Chapter 59, Section 2: All property, real and personal, situated within the Commonwealth, and all personal property of the inhabitants of the Commonwealth wherever situated, unless expressly exempt, shall be subject to taxation.
