Frank R. Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad Company
The Sixteenth Amendment removes the requirement that income taxes be apportioned among the states according to population ; the Federal income tax statute does not violate the Fifth Amendment's prohibition against the government taking property without due process of law; the Federal income tax statute does not violate the uniformity clause of Article I, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
