The Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to levy an income tax without it being apportioned among the states. The other options are not the source of authority for federal income tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Revenue Act of 1913 are laws implementing the income tax, and the Bill of Rights primarily protects individual rights and limits the power of the federal government.
