The apportionment of 1872 was controversial. Congress added nine seats without adopting any particular method of apportionment. Then in 1876 Rutherford B. Hayes became President of the United States based on an apportionment that some say was unconstitutional. Later it was shown by M. L. Balinski and H. P. Young that if Hamilton’s method had been followed, Samuel Tildon would have been elected. Research the apportionment of 1872 and the election of 1876. What method of apportionment was used and what was the result? How would the apportionment have changed if Hamilton’s method had been used?
