Amendment 16
The first Amendment gives people the right to petition the government. Specifically, it gives the right "to petition the government for a redress of grievances". This is the right to ask the government to right wrongs.
The tenth amendment gives the state authority that the federal government does not have. This amendment goes into great detail about the amount of power that the federal government has and what the state has control over.
On February 3rd, 1913, the states ratified the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It reads:"The congress shall have the 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."This amendment gives the federal government the power to tax a person's income. These income taxes can be used to pay for the government's new programs. Taxes are not based on a flat rate but can change according to the amount of income earned. The richer you are, the more taxes you pay. If you're poor, you get a break.If you examine the bill closer you will find that the amount of states needed to ratify this amendment was never met, and adding to that, this bill is completely unconstitutional as it is a direct unpartitioned taxThe 16th Amendment allowed the government to instate the Income Tax.The Income Tax was originally passed as a bill through Congress, but the United States Supreme Court declared it as unconstitutional. The only way to bypass that ruling was to add it to the constitution as an amendment.
The 16th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution gives the power to invoke and collect income taxes as well as other types of taxes. This Amendment was ratified in 1913. Abraham Lincoln issued the first tax on people's income during the Civil War but this tax was later found to be unconstitutional. This is why the !6th Amendment was required to legalize the taxes.
