The U.S. House of Representatives has been frozen at 435 members
for almost a century, and in that time the nationa (TM)s population
has grown by more than 200 percent. With the number of citizens
represented by each House member now dramatically larger, is a
major consequence of this historical disparity a diminished quality
of representation?
Brian Frederick uses empirical data to scrutinize whether
representation has been undermined by keeping a ceiling on the
number of seats available in the House. He examines the influence
of constituency size on several metrics of representationa
"including estimating the effects on electoral competition, policy
responsiveness, and citizen contact with and approval of their
representativesa "and argues that now is the time for the House to
be increased in order to better represent a rapidly growing
country.
