In 1791, Thomas Jefferson helped to convince President George Washington to veto a bill that established a 120-member House of Representatives to be apportioned using Hamilton’s method. When the House could not override Washington’s veto, a new bill was passed that established a 105-member House to be apportioned using Jefferson’s method. In 1800, there were 141 seats in the House. The following table contains apportionment population totals for the states that were part of the United States in the years 1790 and 1800.
Use the 1800 apportionment population totals and Jefferson’s method to apportion the 141 House seats.
