If Art. the 1st Were Ratified in 1791: All 23 Apportionments

Post by HankW501 »

The chart below shows how many House seats each state would have gotten in each decennial apportionment if Article the First were ratified with the Bill of Rights. The method I used for distributing the seats is identical to the method used by the federal government since passage of the Reapportionment Act of 1929 (except, of course, for the 435 limit). For easier viewing, click on SELECT ALL and copy (Ctrl+C) then paste (Ctrl+V) in a Notepad window or any other editor that uses fixed-width characters.

Code: Select all

I created a web page that lets you set the number of seats for each census and it will show you what the distribution would be for that apportionment.

http://www.emeraldesia.com/Apportionmen ... nment.aspx

It also lets you choose the apportionment method.
