16th Amendment
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.
That’s not where the definition is, though.
Where is the definition they’re referencing held at? Does it have conditions?
Amendments (or bill of rights) is part of the constitution but not the constitution.
Forgive me for not giving you a straight answer but when it comes to this topic I want people to actually do the work.

I did a full text search on the constitution and the 16th amendment was the only place “income” popped up.
Are you referring to USC or Case Law as being inclusive to the constitution? If so, that was kinda my point that I was driving at. “Where are the other foundational pillars of these laws and statutes defined at?”
Is Cornell the authoritative legal dictionary for the constitution?
