The principle of the Constitution being demonstrated by this passage is Checks and Balances. This is shown by the fact that while revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives, the Senate has the ability to propose amendments, which reflects a system where different branches or parts of the government have the power to influence and check each other's actions.
