In 1789 a large number of the population was worried about the brake down of citizens to representitives in the Government. There were roughly 3.9 million residents at the time. There were 66 Congressmen. That is 59,000 per Congressmen.
This has got me thinking and I am going to be discussing this problem here under the title "A problem with the numbers".
There are currently 303.5 million Americans. The set number of Congressmen is 453.
?!?
That is 697,701 people to every Congressman, and the founding generation was worried?
Hm. Representitive?
