The correct answer is: **by putting the House of Representatives in charge of the allocation of government funding.**

The U.S. Constitution addresses the issue of taxation with representation by granting the House of Representatives the power to initiate all revenue-related bills. This means that any legislation regarding taxation must originate in the House, where members are directly elected by the people. This structure is intended to ensure that government taxation and spending reflect the will and consent of the governed, thus addressing the issue that led to the phrase "no taxation without representation" during the American Revolution.
