Taxation: Interpreting the Constitution

By Jeff Mapua

Though we all depend upon the programs, services, and infrastructure taxes provide, few of us are happy to pay them. Presented here is the long and rich history of taxation in America, a national saga of fierce debate, violent rebellion, and all-out revolution. Threaded throughout this history of taxation are the many real-world challenges and protests that led to precedent-setting court cases, constitutional amendments, and our modern tax system. Supports Common Core standards for the analysis of seminal U.S. documents, loaded as it is with primary source images, actual transcripts of court decisions, and relevant constitutional text and interpretation.
