“During the progressive era, many initiatives were promoted and fought for, but were prevented from coming to full fruition in either legislative bodies or judicial proceedings. One case in particular, Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., enraged early progressive activists hoping to achieve an income tax. This led progressives to the belief that the Constitution was unamendable, and ultimately to find a new way to achieve the desired level of progress.”
