The federal government rests its authority to collect income tax on the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution\u2014the federal income tax amendment\u2014which was allegedly ratified in 1913.<\/p>\n

\n

“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”<\/p>\n

\u2014The 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After an extensive year-long nationwide research project, William J. Benson<\/a> discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states and that nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox had fraudulently declared ratification.<\/p>\n

It was a shocking revelation; it reached deep to the core of our American system of governance.<\/p>\n

The Discovery<\/p>\n

Article V of the U.S. Constitution defines the ratification process and requires three-fourths of the states to ratify any amendment proposed by Congress. There were fourty-eight states in the American Union in 1913, meaning that affirmative action of thirty-six was necessary for ratification. In February 1913, Secretary of State Philander Knox proclaimed that thirty-eight had ratified the Amendment.<\/p>\n

In 1984 Bill Benson began a research project, never before performed, to investigate the process of ratification of the 16th Amendment. After traveling to the capitols of the New England states and reviewing the journals of the state legislative bodies, he saw that many states had not ratified. He continued his research at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.; it was here that Bill found his Golden Key<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This damning piece of evidence is a sixteen-page memorandum from the Solicitor of the Department of State, among whose duties is the provision of legal opinions for the Secretary of State. In this memorandum, the Solicitor lists the many errors he found in the ratification process.<\/p>\n

These four states are among the thirty-eight from which Philander Knox claimed ratification:<\/p>\n
