The 18th Amendment
The National Woman's Party (NWP) was a women's organization founded by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in 1913 that fought for women's rights during the early 20th century in the United States, particularly for the right to vote on the same terms as men. The NWP put its priority on the passage of a constitutional amendment ensuring women's suffrage. After the Nineteenth Amendment gave women the vote in 1920, the NWP turned its attention to passage of an Equal Rights Amendment(ERA) to the Constitution.
Woodrow Wilson endorsed the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
Under the US Constitution, the federal government was allowed to levy taxes on commerce, and fees to cover the costs of administration. In 1909, the Congress cleared the way for the first direct national income taxes with the passage of the 16th Amendment (ratified in 1913).
