H.J.Res. 61: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment

Context
The first federal income tax was instituted in 1861 to pay for the Civil War, then repealed in 1872, a few years after the warโs end. After it was reimplemented in 1894, as the first peacetime national income tax, the Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional in the 5โ4 decision Pollock v. Farmersโ Loan and Trust Company, because it wasnโt apportioned according to the statesโ populations as the Constitution at the time required.
So how to ensure that a potential future federal income tax would be constitutional, without needing to apportion it by state population? By adding a constitutional amendment explicitly authorizing that possibility, which became the 16th Amendment in 1913.
