  1. Activity 9 Apportionment

  2. What does apportion mean? • Apportion—to divide and assign in due and proper proportion or according to some plan. • How do we take a number of objects of the same kind and divide them among several entities(people, schools, states, etc.) when each entity is entitled to a different sized share?

  3. A Basic Fairness Principle • The number of representatives that an entity is entitled to should be proportional to its percentage of the total population. • For example, if a state’s population is 10% of the total population, ideally it should receive 10% of the representatives.
