The constitutional Amendment.

pie o. taxation and representation '-tha;
is, that Representations. should be based upon
and coequal with TAXATION. Other political
economists and philosophers, however, main

rational basis Of representation is political
yorer-;hct IS, the number of legal voters :;

,ives in Congress should be IN proportion to
The number Of legal voters. This plan would
have been adopted but for the discovery, by
New England, tina, of the so or 10 represen,
t.,ives which the north would gain from the
south by this system, the west would get at
least three to New England one. So tie
