Sixteenth Amendment

Read a random definition: Chapter 11 bankruptcy

A quick definition of Sixteenth Amendment:

Sixteenth Amendment: The Sixteenth Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was made in 1913. It gives Congress the power to collect taxes on people's income. This means that the government can take a small percentage of the money that people earn from their jobs or businesses to pay for things like schools, roads, and other important services that benefit everyone.

A more thorough explanation:

The Sixteenth Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1913. It gives Congress the power to tax people's income.

For example, if you work and earn money, the government can take a portion of your income as taxes. This money is used to pay for things like schools, roads, and the military.

The Sixteenth Amendment was created because the government needed more money to pay for things like World War I and the Great Depression. By allowing Congress to tax income, the government could collect more money from people who were making a lot of money.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing
23:25
@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am

Don’t know if I’m about to make things worse but hang in there! If you’re stressed out get to your nearest trampoline and start jumping! It’s better than therapy! Hopefully you’re under some stars!
