“All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the

House of Representatives; . . .”
— Article 1, Section 7, United States Constitution
The main reason the writers of the Constitution
included this provision was to
(1) give citizens more influence over taxation issues
(2) assure that all citizens would pay taxes
(3) deny presidents the power to veto revenue bills
(4) provide the government with a balanced
budget
