The Constitution provides for proportional representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and the seats in the House are apportioned based on state population according to the constitutionally mandated Census. Representation based on population in the House was one of the most important components of the Federal Constitutional Convention of 1787.
Wyoming has a population of around 600,000 and has one representative in Congress. There are Congressional Districts in other states that populations of nearly 1,000,000. The voice of the people in Wyoming is not equal to people living in New York City or Los Angeles. If people were being denied representation based upon race, religion or sexual orientation rather than on their location the people would be outraged.
By limiting the size of Congressional Districts to a maximum of 50,000 as mandated in the originally proposed 1st Amendment, equal representation could be achieved. Eleven states have already ratified the proposed amendment and if 27 more states vote on its ratification Wyoming would be entitled to 10 members of the House of Representatives instead of only one.

True....WY has really gone bonkers with this Democrat with an R in front of his name..nothing being said nor done about it..a complicating factor, right here in this county, is the fact the media is owned by one liberal that will not allow information to be published re: to what is going on in the whole circle of our county and its corruption growing each and every day...
The electoral college balances out the irregularities of population density …in dense populations more people are influenced by few or one voice. The blue vote comes almost entirely from big city centers and the counties they are in.
In the 1770's, founders probably had no idea most of the USA would become a vote dominated by essentially a "one huge metropolis" (the largest cities). In those days the population was sparce, about 2 people per square mile, and we would be wise to think in terms of the founders living conditions, in those days even Europe wasn't much more than that number (20 per square mile at most).
So I think every county should have an equal vote ...a density of no more than 39 per square mile shows more free thinking:
California has by far the highest dense population centers of all states!
Are you suggesting that Loving County Texas which has a population of 82 in the year 2010 should had the same voice as Los Angeles County?
Actually Loving County should have a much higher voice, I think a vote in counties up to 20 people per sq mile should be proportional in equal vote, and weigh proportionally more than higher densities (which should weigh proportionally less!) ...densities between 2 and 20 or less per sq mile shoud be the standard vote (with most weight).
The Amendment might give Wyoming 10 seats, but how many more seats will Caliirnia and New York get ??
All Congressional Districts should be equal in size and each individual in each District should have an equal voice.
THIS SOUNDS FAIR

The House of Representatives
Editors Duane Eugene Kirkland shared Discovery rule of law, locked in and not for sale or change or bid or trade, or vote, locked in by the 9th amendment. If violate then the 10 Amendment is enforced. and if violated then its void and no office is bound to implement. then is void by rule of law.
Ninth Amendment
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Tenth Amendment
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
What size of House of Representatives would be, with 1 representative per 30,000 people?
How has the Constitution been ignored on this number? and when?
If any part of the Constituent is not implemented of the territory's by jurisdiction by the limitation of the delegated power This would be illegal. Creating illegal sectors and partaking them out to benefit a mortify of rule false populations is illegal.
It happens all the time. Its like adding a new state without authority to do so, they do it all the time by the electro college.
My point is to bring to your attention anything that they create of jurisdiction not in harmony with the Constitutions is illegal and fraud. If it is followed by the constitutional limitations and it actual process -to make states equal on the reputation of delegated power.
By illegals collected censor's of populations, and pretty much every time they have the collection of accountability of the population .
The data is implemented to create a scheme to balance the power. adding to the jurisdiction's by false data is a unconstitutional act and its illegal and is a unconstitutional act, and its void. but no one sees it. hard to see.....
Example lets take a pole by CNN, they have a schemed on collect data by jurisdiction that are not even a actual jurisdiction , by fiction of perception of data that is not true.
Its complicated - but to make it simple , just know that if it is in conflict with the Constitution then its not equal and justified by the Constituency that is the rule of law by jurisdiction of equal populations of territory. we are a republic........ no other.
Do your comparison to the Constitution and if any part or clause , or statutes and codes and have any conflict then its not bound and notwithstanding of the separations of powers. no matter what the states must have equal reps appointee from each states. regardless of populations issues.
You can not create a state within the state to benefit more power to a group of people this would be illegal. If there is issues on territory and adding state to the Union there is a Constitutional legal way to enter the union. like the last two states added to the union.
