The 1990 census revealed that the population of certain U.S. states had increased more rapidly than the national average because of immigration. The results of the reapportionment after the 1990 census caused Montana and 12 other states to lose a seat each, while 8 states gained a total of 19 seats. The state of Montana filed a lawsuit over the reapportionment. Research the case made by Montana (Montana v. U.S. Department of Commerce) in the U.S. District Court in 1991. Why did the state of Montana believe it had a case against the government over the reapportionment? The case eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court (U.S. Department of Commerce v. Montana) and was decided on March 31, 1992. How did each court rule? Were any other states trying to fight the reapportionment? Write a report that summarizes your findings.
