Representation Apportionment and Census Ratios Debate
The toll population of the United States by race is given with total at 17 000 000 and slaves at 2 354 000. A proposed 60 000 basis would strip some states of representation and leave large unrepresented fractions. A New York Express table contrasts this with present ratios. Non slaveholding states would gain representation. slaveholding states would lose seats, raising House totals from 142 to 154 and 100 to 95 respectively, for a 249 member House with a 50 000 ratio.
