States were often reluctant to tax their citizens due to the fear of undermining economic growth and public discontent. High taxes could lead to resistance or evasion from taxpayers, and officials worried that excessive taxation might drive businesses and individuals away. Additionally, many states sought to maintain a favorable image to attract investment and promote development, prioritizing voluntary compliance and fostering a positive relationship with their constituents.
U.S. citizens began paying income tax in 1861, when the federal government instituted a tax to help fund the Civil War. This tax was temporary and was repealed in 1872. The modern income tax system was established with the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1913, allowing Congress to levy a federal income tax without apportioning it among the states.
No, it is not the constitution that taxes citizens, it is the government. The text of the constitution (of which ever country you are from - you did not specify) will however allow the government to tax citizens.

No, the ninth amendment of the US Constitution does not outlaw income tax. This amendment provides for the rights of the citizens of the United States that were intended by the founding fathers but not clearly stipulated in the Bill of Rights.
