I'm not a native speaker but shouldn't this be "of any kind whatsoever"?

  In current English, yes, but usage was different in the late 18th century. There's quite a lot of archaic language in the Constitution, which is one cause of the endless arguments about its exact interpretation. (Some of the language was very ambiguous even at the time.)

  "Whatsoever" is the stronger form, but either is correct.
