Why does Article One, Section 7 of the US Constitution requires that taxes be introduced in the House of Representatives?

Taxed without consent
To ensure representation
To limit the power of the monarchy
As a compromise between federalists and anti-federalists

The correct answer is: Taxed without consent

Article One, Section 7 of the US Constitution requires that taxes be introduced in the House of Representatives to ensure that taxes are not imposed unjustly on the people without their consent. This provision is a protection against taxation without representation, a key issue that led to the American Revolution. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the purpose of this provision. Option B about representation is partially correct, but does not fully explain the role of the House of Representatives in the tax introduction process. Option C about limiting the power of the monarchy is not relevant to the US Constitution and option D about a compromise between federalists and anti-federalists does not directly relate to the purpose of this provision.
