What amendment allowed the federal government to collect income tax?

The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1913, allows the federal government to collect income tax. This amendment removed the requirement that income taxes be apportioned among the states based on population, enabling the federal government to levy taxes directly on individuals' earnings. The amendment was a significant shift in the federal government's ability to generate revenue.


In 1913 the Sixteenth Amendment which legalized a federal income tax was ratified. Why was there a need for a federal income tax?

The ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913 was largely driven by the need for a more stable and equitable source of government revenue. Before the amendment, the federal government relied heavily on tariffs and excise taxes, which disproportionately affected lower-income individuals. A federal income tax allowed for a more progressive taxation system, enabling the government to collect funds based on individuals' ability to pay. This shift was also seen as necessary to support expanding government functions and services during a time of rapid industrialization and urbanization.
