 The federal income tax ultimately required a constitutional amendment to be sustained. The amendment was passed long after John Marshall was dead. The first federal income tax was implemented 26 years after he died. So it took a good while. 
 Historically taxes were for the conquered.

Seems accurate...for now 🛡️
