B. by putting the House of Representatives in charge of the allocation of government funding

The Constitution specifically grants the power of the purse to the House of Representatives, where all bills for raising revenue must originate. This means that taxation and government spending decisions are made by representatives who are elected by the people, thus providing a system of representation in decisions related to taxation. This helps prevent the issue of taxation without representation, as the people have a direct say in how their tax dollars are allocated.
