<span>The consolidation of economic power by the wealthiest. Prior to the 16th amendment, direct taxes had to apportioned to the states according to population. There were some exceptions based upon indirect taxes such as tariffs and excise taxes, but in general income from rentals of property were effectively unable to be taxed. The Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., case eased the governments ability to tax, in that it made wages exempt from the apportionment clause, but income via rentals, interest, and dividends were restricted to apportionment and effectively untaxable. The 16th amendment allowed for taxation on those sources of income.</span>

What did the signers of the mayflower compact promote by setting up a government and laws?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The signers of the Mayflower Compact had signed the treaty to ensure that there will be peace between the Saints and the Strangers. The Mayflower Voyage is a journey that is set-up by the Pilgrims from Great Britain. These Pilgrims fled the country to avoid persecution against the Anglican Church of England. However, not all of the pilgrims are strangers. Many of them are also saints(or religious clergies). These saints wanted to live a better life. They hope that they would find this life in the New World.  Because of these two opposing groups, the signers of the contract had brought this out to ensure the peace amongst the pilgrims and to establish a government that would keep the peace and order in their new colony.

Why have some countries provided incentives for families to send their girls to school?
NeX [460]
That is because in many societies worldwide, families still don't want to send girls to schools because they don't think that it's a place where girls should go. Governments try to fight this with various incentives but often the cultural tradition is stronger than these incentives and this creates a society not based on equality. This is relatively common in underdeveloped countries.
