#MissKittyPolitics Yes, the 3/5 Compromise was integral to the creation of the #Electoral #College. By counting three-fifths of the enslaved population for #Congressional #apportionment, it #artificially #boosted the South's electoral power, ensuring slave states ... //Those expectations die hard.//

"The number has gotten so high because the 1929 Permanent #Apportionment Act has as a de facto matter capped the size of the House. The bill set the decennial reapportionment of the House on autopilot. It assigned the #Census Bureau the job of reporting a new 435-seat apportionment plan for the House to the president following each decennial census .... #Congress can change this number if it wants to, but it has not wanted to for nearly a century now."
