Why is there six points in a touchdown instead of ten points in a touchdown?
That's just the way the point system evolved. A touchdown is harder to get than a field goal, so you get twice as many points for a TD, plus you get a chance to tack on a bonus point afterward. The original scoring system was 2 points for a TD, 4 points for the point after, 5 points for a field goal, and 2 points for a safety. That reflected the emphasis on kicking in the early days. But as the game moved more toward running and passing, the point system changed to reflect the value of a touchdown over a kicked score.

What was the original value of a touchdown in American football?
Originally, points were not given for scoring a touchdown. Instead, the team who had reached the end zone would have a chance to place kick for a goal in a spot along a line where the ball had touched down perpendicular to the goal line. A player on the team who had scored the touchdown could also kick to a teammate in the end zone as to score a touchdown again and move the ball to a more advantageous area to kick from. It was not until 1883 when Walter Camp put a point scoring system into place. Four points were alloted for a touchdown. Additionally, two points were given for successful kicks after touchdowns, five points for field goals, and two points for safeties.
