Tax Incomes
16
The 19th amendment extended the voting rights to women. The 15th amendment ensured the right to vote no matter a persons race. The 26th amendment gave any citizen over 18 the right to vote.
The 18th Amendment was ratified 16 January 1919. It became effective 16 January 1920. It was repealed by the 21st Amendment 5 December 1933.
The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution allows Congress to levy an income tax against individuals.
The 16th Amendment made it legal for the Congress to lay and collect taxes on income. It is the contention of some that because the Congress does NOT do the collecting directly, that is done by the IRS a division of the Executive Branch, every dime of income tax ever collected by the IRS has been collected unconstitutionally. In the US Government, the Executive Branch is responsible for enforcing the laws passed by the Congress.
Younger people voting. Congress lowered the national voting age to 18. In the 26th Amendment, the minimum age was set at 18 for both state and national elections. It was ratified in July 1971. It should be noted that the 26th Amendment allows for states to lower the voting age to 17 or even 16, if they so wish.
The Sixteenth Amendment. "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
