The Choice: The 16th Amendment, Podcast Episode

This amendment authorized the federal income tax.

The 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1913, grants Congress the power to levy and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without being required to apportion these taxes among the states based on their population.
