Reform in Connecticut and the Vermont anomaly in representation
Connecticut and Vermont struggle over constitutional reform that would align representation with population. Connecticut still ties towns to fixed seats while keeping small towns overrepresented, with 12 towns above 8000 population each having one seat and 15 towns with 425 to 1290 people having two. The Senate, reorganized by districts in 1829, shows similar misalignment, as populations exceed claims of fair representation. Both states cling to archaic constitutional provisions, resisting real reform in a dispute framed as a conflict between equal, popular rule and traditional town-based balance.
