    Both assertions in the first question are accurate. Specifically, the state has the absolute authority to demand taxes from its inhabitants without an explicit constitutional provision, and the tax clauses in the Constitution only impose restrictions and not rights. The one exception in the second question is that the state's taxing authority exists independently of the constitution and is not sourced from it. In the fourth question, both statements are incorrect because the constitution is not the source of the state's taxing power and taxation is not an exercise of the police power.
