After the Supreme Court's decision in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan and Trust Co. (1895), which ruled that federal income taxes on property were unconstitutional, Progressives sought to create a federal income tax to address economic inequality and fund social programs. This led to the push for the 16th Amendment, which was ratified in 1913, granting Congress the power to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states. The amendment was seen as a vital tool for progressive reform, allowing for a more equitable taxation system.
After the Supreme Court's decision in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan and Trust Co. in 1895, which deemed an income tax unconstitutional, Progressives intensified their efforts to establish a federal income tax. They advocated for a constitutional amendment to allow the federal government to levy income taxes without apportionment among the states. This culminated in the passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913, which legally authorized the federal income tax and marked a significant shift in the government's ability to raise revenue. The amendment reflected the Progressive movement's goals of addressing economic inequality and funding social programs.
