These lesser referenced portions of the Constitution range from the weights and measure clause, Article I, Section 8 "The Congress shall have Power To....fix the Standard of Weights and Measures" to the title of nobility clauses, Article I, Section 10, "No State shall...grant any Title of Nobility." Jay Wexler speaks at Brookline Booksmith in Brookline, Massachusetts.
