Article 1, Section 2 of the US Constitution calls for "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand". With the 1930 census, Congress and the President stopped increasing the number of representatives, capping it at the current 435. This has kept the legislature size static, but has has the unintended consequence of disenfranchising citizens through the representation of nearly 800,000 people for each representative in Congress. Adjusting this to a ration of 50,000 to one will render gerrymandering irrelevant, will engage voters and increase diversity in the People's house.
