Answer:

The 16th amendment gave Congress the power to lay taxes on incomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sixteenth Amendment was introduced in 1909 to remedy this problem. The full text of the Amendment is: The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
