Explanation:

In simple terms, it was an income tax amendment proposal which was earlier presented by the Congress. In the past, the Congress had made an attempt to pass a tax bill along with some tariff bill. The consequence of this was that President Taft and few other Congressmen came to the decision of introducing a constitutional amendment thereby legalizing income tax.
