History

Answer:

The 16th Amendment to the constitution to the United States of America was passed in 1909 in the Congress. The Amendment was ratified by the states on February 3,1913. The 16th Amendment gave the government the right to levy an income tax without appointing it in the states on the basis of population. Before the Amendment the only revenue income of federal government used to come from tariffs rather than income taxes. However this amendment was a response to the Pollock vs Farmer loans co. Upon the case the Court ruled that the federal tax is not unconstitutional but government can not levy any tax without appointing the states on the basis of population.

As a result it was a barrier for the Congress to levy. But the 16th Amendment gave constitutional right to the government to levy taxes without appointing the states basis on the population.

This is how the 16th amendment helped the government.

How is the republic different from direct democracy
Fantom [35]

Answer:

In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected. In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.

What was Lincoln’s great fear in issuing an executive order freeing the slaves?
Vilka [71]
In this video segment, from the PBS documentary Looking for Lincoln<span>, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and historian David Blight examine President Abraham Lincoln’s mixed motivations for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. They conclude that while Lincoln ultimately recognized the moral righteousness freeing the slaves, his first and primary concern was strategic: it was the best way to rally the North and strike at the heart of the South’s economy. Gates and Blight then join a roundtable discussion of Lincoln scholars debating the legal authority of the Proclamation and its special meaning for African Americans.</span>
