GPT 3.5 · Answer

The correct answer is 1. by putting the house of representatives in charge of the allocation of government funding.

The Constitution addressed the issue of taxation without representation by establishing a system of representative government. The House of Representatives, the lower house of Congress, was given the power to initiate revenue bills and determine how government funds should be allocated. This ensured that taxation decisions were made by elected representatives who directly represented the interests of the people and provided a mechanism for citizens to have a voice in government funding.
