Cason Casey · Answer 1

Answer & Explanation:

The 16th amendment is an important amendment that allows the federal (United States) government to levy (collect) an income tax from all Americans ... Other taxes, such as taxes on houses or other property are considered "direct" taxes by the Constitution and would have to be divided back among the states.

Isai Crosby · Answer 2

the amendment allows the congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states or basing it on the united states census.
