The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution states:

"The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

This was a significant change because it altered the way the government obtained most of its revenue. The change meant that instead of using tariffs as the main source of revenue, the government could rely on income taxes. The change was particularly accepted in the South and the West, where tariffs made life expensive.

(b) Why is this an important technique for him to use as he begins

his argument?

The technique used by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence was to appeal to the audience by the usage of strongly worded sentences. The reason for using this technique at the beginning of the address was to bring the attention of the people

Thomas Jefferson, in the emotionally charged 'Declaration of Independence', attempts to draw the attention of the people, and shed light on what has been happening in America.
He uses words rooted in the history of struggle for independence.
He does so, in order to remind the public, that they had certain rights that could not be confiscated by anyone.
Especially, the ruling government.
He begins the draft with these statements, so that the people are empowered with knowledge, logic, ideas, ideologies, philosophy and the strength to fight for what is rightfully theirs'.

Therefore, it is clear why Thomas Jefferson used this technique in the beginning.

How did the tang and song dynasties culturally differ?

zloy xaker [14]

The Song Dynasty practiced Buddhism whereas the Tang banned the religion and persecuted those who followed it during the later time of their ruling. The Tang Dynasty also had expanded their empire and even reformed civil service. The Tang expanded and conserved their power by establishing tributary states. They had a stronger more powerful military when compared to the Song. The Song Dynasty ruled a smaller empire during their time that primarily relied on sea power. Their military power was weaker than what the Tang Dynasty’s was.
