I would like to see less people per Representative, however one argument against it is that the more Representatives you have, the less gets done.
Can you imagine if the numbers were the same as when we made the Constitution? I believe 30 or 35 thousand per Representative.
Lets say 30k . That would be 10000 members in the House of Representatives. Now imagine trying to pay them all, much less getting any meeting held and any consenus on any bill.
lol ... that would be pretty outrageous ...
maybe I'll run some numbers later on if it stays slow here and see what it would look like at 500,000 per Rep and some other numbers ...
another possible reason why it has stayed the same is that with fewer seats it is easier to maintain the Republican and Democratic brand name and avoid 3rd party representation ...
