The power to collect taxes to pay for the general welfare of the United States.
<u>Explanation:</u>
I've seen this question with multiple choice answers (for instance: brainly.com/question/6561151). The power to impose taxes on citizens is a key power of a government ... and it was improper and unfair imposition of taxes by the British crown that played a large role in provoking the American colonies to declare their independence.
When the Constitution of the United States was written, after the establishment of the nation, the power of taxation and the reasons for taxation were clearly stated. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution says:
- The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States.
The government can be altered as the years go on as we develop and change as a nation. Amendments or Subsequent ratification
