Which amendment specifies the limits of the national government?

Answer 1

U.S. Const., Amend. XVI:

"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."

Amendment XVI, referring to the power of the federal government to levy income taxes, without apportionment or census, was ratified February 3, 1913.

In order to understand its implications, read:

Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad, 240 U.S. 1 (1916);

Bowers v. Kerbaugh-Empire Co., 271 U.S. 170 (1926);

Commissioner v. Glenshaw Glass Co., 348 U.S. 426 (1955);

Penn Mutual Indemnity Co. v. Commissioner, 277 F.2d 16, 60-1 U.S. Tax Cas. (CCH) paragr. 9389 (3d Cir. 1960);

Murphy v. Internal Revenue Service and United States, 460 F.3d 79, 2006-2 U.S. Tax Cas. (CCH) paragr. 50,476, 2006 WL 2411372 (D.C. Cir. August 22, 2006).

Answer 2

Iin theory, the Constitution limits government through a series of Checks and Balances, designed to keep any of the three branches of Government from usurping power from the other two. Also, the very last article of the Constitution limits government by dictating that all powers not given to the Federal Government

within it's framework belong to the states. Therefore, most of the Government presence for us should be State Government, rather than the Federal Government. I think the 14th Amendment to the constitution changed that, however. It was passed after the Civil War to punish the South for its rebellion.
