The provision that all tax measures should start in the House was added to the Constitution to appease the large, heavily populated states. These states wanted to ensure that they had more control over taxing and spending because they had more representatives in the House. By starting all tax measures in the House, the large states could influence the debate and ensure that their interests were represented.
