Eramus was one of the earliest reformers and renaissance leaders. Between Luther and the Church of the time, he fallowed middle path and tried to reform the Church within. The three ways that he contrasts the church leaders of his time with the apostles include :
He was against the corrupt church leaders who used to behave like lords or masters while as apostles were honest, simple and down to earth.
He rejected the preaching of church leaders that material things leads to salvation while as apostles used to practice and preach that spirituality leads to salvation.
The Church leaders used to discuss the irrelevant and complicated principles but not practiced even the simple ones while as the apostles preach and practice simple dogmas and doctrine.
The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1913, was written to allow Congress to tax income without the hobbling apportionment requirement.
