The Constitution gives the US Government the power to collect taxes. Before the Constitution, the Articles of Confederation existed and therefore the Central Government could not collect taxes, thus not being able to pay foreign loans or their soldiers. So the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution to give the Central government the power to collect taxes.

The constitution gives the US government the power to collect taxes.

Article 1, section 8 of the US constitution gives congress the power to collect taxes, import and exercises, and duties.

The constitution of the United States also gives congress the authority to pay debts.

Further Explanation

The sixteen amendments to the United States constitution granted congress the power to impose an income tax. The amendment was passed in 1909 following the Supreme Court case between Pollock and Farmers' Loan & Trust Co.

The amendment was ratified in 1913 by the required numbers of states and nullified the judgment given by the Supreme Court in Pollock.

Before the 19th century, the federal government generates its revenue from tariffs and not taxes but in 1861, the Revenue act was enacted. By implementing the Revenue Act, the first federal income tax was introduced and later abolished by congress in 1872.

Article 1, section 8 also gives congress the power to borrow money on the credits of the United States, Congress is also empowered to control commerce with foreign nations.

The constitution of the United States is the highest law in the United States. It defines government powers and also protects the fundamental human rights of the Citizens of the United States.
