Why is the 16th amendment significant?

The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution states:

"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."

This was a significant change because it altered the way the government obtained most of its revenue. The change meant that instead of using tariffs as the main source of revenue, the government could rely on income taxes. The change was particularly accepted in the South and the West, where tariffs made life expensive.

roosevelt essentially took the opposite approach as hoover in taking on the great depression. herbert hoover thought that america and its economy could naturally recover from the depression in due course, so he adamantly restrained the federal government from intervening on behalf of the people affected. on the other hand, roosevelt dramatically increased employment by expanding the federal government and establishing agencies that would aid in relieving some of the country's worst problems.
