Define the 16th Amendment how did it help the government​

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.
