The 16th Amendment to the U.S Constitution was ratified, which required Americans to pay the income tax. It took nearly four years of debate to get this amendment passed.

The idea of paying income tax was nor new in 1913. As far back as the war of 1812 the concept of using taxation to fund a federal issue was considered. The war ended before the tax levy could be legalized, and the question of taxation did not come up again until the American Civil War.

The Internal Revenue Act of 1862 taxed incomes in a progressive manner. This mean the higher the income, the higher the tax.

Congress passed the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act, which imposed a 2% tax on all annual incomes over four thousand dollars.

Many citizens fought for the adoption of income taxation. It was an easy way to raise money that could be used for any number of things. The main concern was that the bulk of the country's weather lay in the hands of just a few people.

The 17th Amendment to the U.S Constitution was ratified on April 8th and put into effect one year later. It allowed for senators to be elected by the people living in the state they represent rather than take office by appointment of their state's legislature.

The 17th Amendment did more than give Americans the right to elect their senators.

Under the new Amendment if any local political party authorities refused to allowed an African American to vote based on his race, it now became a constitutional issue.

Each state was to be represented by two senators elected for a six year term.

There were logical reasons for wanting to elect these politicians. As the system stood corrupt politicians appointed senators who's support they know they could buy.

Despite the law it was not uncommon for whites to prohibit African Americans from voting. They did this by threatening their lives or by requiring them to pass literacy tests everyone knew they could not pass.

If the FTC discovered unlawful conduct, it could then seek voluntary compliance by the offending business through a consent order, file and administrative complaint, or initiate litigation in federal court.

The FTC could also issue rules that addressed industry wide practiced. Perhaps most important, the law did not require an actual deception to occur before the commission could take action; in fact, the FTC had only to find the likelihood that business practices could deceive customers.

The Keating Owen Bill was drafted and introduced in the House by A. Mitchell Palmer, the future attorney general, and in the Senate by Robert L. Owen.

The proposal moved quickly through the house, but, lacking the support of the president with deep reservations about the federal government's jurisdiction in such matters, made no progress in the Senate. The introduced it to Edward Keating, Democrat of Colorado, Where it again passed without any difficulty.

On this occasion, however, President Wilson, fearful of losing the political initiative to a newly reunited Republican Party, and recognizing that such legislation had proved to be the one of the more popular planks in his party's platform, used his influence in the Senate to secure its passage.

In actuality, the Keating Owen Act did little more than prohibit shipment in interstate commerce of goods manufactures or processed by child labor. the act forbade the shipment between the states or in foreign commerce of any minerals where, within thirty days prior to such shipment, children sixteen years old or younger has been employed.

It also forbade the shipment had employed children younger than fourteen years old or where children between fourteen and sixteen years of age had worked more than eight hours a day or six days a week.

The Temperance Movement, which promoted abstinence from alcohol, had become one of the cornerstones of the growing women's movement in the last half of the nineteenth century. Alcohol and liquor were perceived by many to be the root of many cosmetic and social evils and in direct conflict with heathly happy families.

The Women's Christian Temperance Union was founded in 1874. In 1895, the Anti-Saloon League formed, and it was soon joined by countless other organizations. Together they had great influence on legislators, many of whom were opposed to alcohol themselves.

Organized crimes soon took control of the illegal distribution of liquor, and the government soon had a problem much more serious than the outlawing of alcoholic drinks.

In December 1933, Congress passed the 21st Amendment, which repealed the 18th Amendment. It had become clear that America was not about to give up its consumption of alcohol regardless of the law. Furthermore, enforcing the law prohibiting alcohol had proved a costly thirteen year battle that could not be won.

On August 18, 1920, American Women were given suffrage with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment of the U.S Constitution Women's suffrage rights had not come quickly or easily. Women had fought or suffrage for seventy-two years beginning with the Seneca Fall's Women's Rights Convention in New York in 1848. That conference marked the beginning of what would be a national revolution.

As America grew to be dependent upon industry in the mid-to late nineteenth century, middle and upper classes formed. This prosperity created a never-before-seen class of women who had time on their hands. Able to focus on social and cultural issues that mattered to them, many of the most dedicated women supported suffrage.

America was slow to accept the idea that women should be recognized as first-class citizens. It was an era when men ran business and politics while women raised children and busied themselves within the home. Women were considered too fragile to understand and deal with anything political. Men could think of no reason to allow women to cast a vote.

Two organizations, the National Women Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association joined fores in 1890 to become the National American Women Suffrage Association, America's entry into World War I helped forward the women;s movement as Alice Paul asked President Woodrow Wilson how he could fight for democracy overseas while denying women in his own country the right to vote.

Congress enacted the Adamson Act in response to Wilson's message, granting Labor an eight-hour workday and overtime compensation. The Adamson Act guaranteed labor's support for Wilson in the 1916 campaign. Gompers and Labor worked hard for the president both publicly and privately.

In the western states, which decided the election, organized labor gave more unified support to Wilson than they had as never before. According to Labor historian Melvyn Dubofsky, "Labor votes in the Pacific Coast states, most especially California, proved indispensable to Wilson's Victory."
