Question

In 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment, which legalized a federal income tax, was ratified. Why was there a need for a federal income tax? A) to pay for a minimum wage B) to provide workman's compensation C) to support the Federal Reserve System D) to replace the revenue loss from tariffs

Answer 1

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

I would say the answer to be D, because many tariffs had been placed at the time, and money started to become a problem as President Wilson was in office. This caused a need for federal income tax because of a shortage of money and because of the number of tariffs that there were at the time so the answer is basically D.
