The end of chapter assignment for apportionment will be for you to demonstrate your expertise in apportioning the original U.S. House of Representatives based on the 1790 Census. This was the first congress to be apportioned after the Constitution was ratified. It also held a bit of controversy. The method proposed by Alexander Hamilton and passed by Congress was then vetoed by George Washington. This was the very first use of veto power by a President, and it was used based on mathematics! See this link for details: Washington's First Veto After Hamilton's method was vetoed, within 10 days, Thomas Jefferson proposed his method for apportioning the House of Representatives, which was then approved and became law. His method was then used until 1840. Your final assignment for this module will be to apportion the original U.S. House of Representatives using both the Hamilton and Jefferson methods, based on the 1790 Census
