The idea of the political party goes back the First Triumvirate of Rome. Marcus Crassus, Gnaeus Pompeius, and Gaius Julius all came to the realisation that they could cement their political power by forming an alliance. In this case it ended disastrously with Julius invading Rome, Pompeius having to fight him (and losing), and Gaius Julius getting to drop “Gaius” from the common usage of his name and add “Caesar” to the end of it.
Despite the outcome, the idea of creating a political power bloc has remained in any system of government that it can exist in. It allows the members to exercise more power and present a united front. Love them or hate them, it’s easy to find out what a major political party generally stands for.
At our last election, we had a series of independents running locally. Most had no website and no signage up around town. The only information I could find on them was a short write-up in the local paper. The write-ups tended to focus on one issue. For example, one candidate was a former nurse and passionate about protecting the healthcare system. That didn’t tell me how she felt about climate change, education, infrastructure, social policies, or anything else. No, it was way easier to vote for a political party.
The effect of the 16th Amendment was that b) It granted Congress the
power to tax incomes. The 16th Amendment to the United States
Constitution allowed Congress to levy taxes without apportioning it to
that specific state or basing it on the United States Census
(apportioning it to the state and according to their respective numbers)
and this included all taxes except income tax.
The competition on the market is something that has very positive impact on the consumers, but also on the whole world as a whole. When there is competition, the companies are producing products of higher quality in order to get advantage. Not just that the quality is improved, but also the prices go lower, so that the advantage can be even greater. The companies also have to be very creative and constantly come up with innovations so that they can be a step in front of the competition. This results in products of higher quality, cheaper, and constantly having new attractive products on the market.
