The passage of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913 allowed the federal government to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states based on population. This significantly increased federal revenue, enabling the government to expand its role in economic and social programs. It also contributed to a shift in the economic landscape by providing funding for public services and infrastructure, while establishing income tax as a primary source of federal funding. Ultimately, it marked a key change in the relationship between the government and its citizens concerning taxation and public expenditure.
