The Constitution addressed the issue of taxation without representation by allowing citizens to vote directly on how to fund the government. The system established by the Constitution gave the power of taxation to the elected representatives in the House of Representatives. These representatives were directly elected by the people and were responsible for deciding on matters related to funding and taxation. This ensured that citizens had a say in the process and were represented when tax laws were enacted. Therefore, the Constitution prevented the issue of taxation without representation by ensuring that elected representatives, who represented the interests of the people, had control over the allocation of government funding.
