All bill for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives but the senate may propose of concur with amendments as on the other bills. Which principle of the constitution is being demonstrated by this passage
1 answer
The principle being demonstrated by this passage is the principle of bicameralism. In the United States Constitution, bills that raise revenue must originate in the House of Representatives as a way to ensure that the power of taxation is in the hands of the representatives of the people. However, the Senate still has the power to propose and concur with amendments to these revenue bills.
