#Republican form ain't #Arbitrary! #Constitutionally We're promised IT & thus, "Representatives shall be apportioned among the... States according to Their respective numbers", "that is to say, They shall have a ratio common to ALL, for ratio, & portion are equivalent words"-TJ

Preface: cpl yrs spent trying to speculate n come up w/viable reason that specifically, cheesemakers were particularly 'blessed'?(trust, i got 1)
Me to gf: Hey, he never mentioned the 'cheesemakers'?
Any "Cap" imposed upon the U.S. House of Representatives is antithetical to the prescribed #RepublicanForm in #Art1sec2cl3, established both by #1stVeto and precedent of 5 enumerations. "The application of 1 ratio is intelligible to them & will therefore be approved." -TJ~GW 1792
@Julio974@RepCasten "Several problems"? None of em that betray cotus. Cube root? For the purposes of distributing power?
"They cannot approve what they do not understand"-TJ>GW 1792
We suffer for a crotchet of ingenuity aka perm apportionment, and while I'd agree with CR, WYrule÷3 easier to explain
@RepCasten Might serve well to redress, specifically what it means to have "Representatives & direct taxes apportioned among the several states according to Their Respective Numbers"
Or, why #SCOTUS was formed
w/1 chief Justice & 5 assoc?

@UncapTheHouse Wyoming÷3 would be a more constitutionally consistent, apportioned, #BasicDivisor for the house. With senators representative of whole state n serving 3x the term length, conversely then it would relate so that 1/3rd the term translates to 1/3rd the constituency
Freedom is a right we need to maintain.
The size of the U.S. House is small. Small compared to other nations and small compared to ourselves.
We could do better.
@faimon@BlakePater@NOLAnews How bout we let those neighborhoods determine this for themselves? Certainly hard to trust a #jprd that defends their subordinates, committing #ElderAbuse at park public mtg, guess ya missed last one..

@WTPRepresented UK pop is closer to 67Mil n one of worst "ratios" of representation in europe. Avg of eu nations is around 1per 60k. Now #India? Their #LokSabha is "capped" @ 545 members, which translates to 1 rep per 2.6Mil people, & only nation LESS representative than US
