Constitution; Just a piece of paper?
Here is the section 14 of the Wisconsin Constitution: Sec. 14. All lands within the state are declared to be allodial, and feudal tenures are prohibited. Leases and grants of agricultural land for a longer term than fifteen years in which rent or service of any kind shall be reserved, and all fines and like restraints upon alienation reserved in any grant of land, hereafter made, are declared to be void.
The question is; why do we pay land and building taxes in Wisconsin when it says right in the constitution that all lands are allodial?
