19 Amendment Meaning

 The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution forbids the refusal of the right to vote to individuals based on gender, thus providing women with the lawful right to vote. It was confirmed on August 18, 1920, following a prolonged fight for women's voting rights in the United States.

16 Amendment Meaning

 The Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution bestows upon Congress the power to impose an income tax without distributing it among the states according to their population. Ratified on February 3, 1913, this amendment effectively nullified the Supreme Court's ruling in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. (1895), which had deemed income taxes as "direct taxes" necessitating apportionment among the state.
