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.
E: you may need to rely on Supreme Court rulings and public laws for rulings that point to the exact interpretation, that may give a hint to where it’s located within the articles.
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?
And no, Cornell is not an authoritative source but it’s better than nothing.
If you’re looking for a single source (which I think you are) you won’t find it. Instead you have to “connect the dots” so to speak. An example: Public Law 86-624 says that statutes are limited by their definitions. So now you would need to understand the definitions and how they apply to you. Define “employee”, “employer”, “trade or business”, etc… they all relate to businesses.
And no, A1S8C1 is not where the definition of “income” is at
Correct, like I said: If you’re looking for a single source (which I think you are) you won’t find it. Instead you have to “connect the dots” so to speak.
Simply doing a word search is the epitome of laziness, as it requires the least amount of effort. Reading is where the reward is. “Income” is a form of taxation, so again, start with the articles I linked and go down the rabbit hole.
The only way to win is litigation and that requires understanding.

I’m referring to public laws, for example: https://www.congress.gov/97/statute/STATUTE-96/STATUTE-96-Pg1211.pdf

Don’t take this personally but being lazy won’t get you far: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C1-1-1/ALDE_00013387/
You are, then, referring to statutes and USC, which are not the Constitution, and calling it “the Constitution”.
Stop accusing of laziness when you’re using the wrong terms. I asked you if that was what you meant.
And no, A1S8C1 is not where the definition of “income” is at. Fairly sure it’s not in USC either.
Usc and statues are codifications of public law.
