摘要
Apportionment is the constitutional problem of allocating the seats of the United States House of Representatives proportionally to states' populations. History and common sense together suggest a fundamental set of principles of fairness that should be met by any method used to solve it. The principles determine a unique method originally proposed by Daniel Webster in 1832 that was discarded in 1941 on fallacious grounds in favor of the present one.
