Can you define what you mean here? I was under the impression that the House is proportional to population, and that the Senate is not. Unless, do you mean direct populace voting on Congressional acts, as opposed to the indirect representation we have now?
- AnthonyMouse 11y agoThe number of seats in the House is proportional to the population (or it was, until there would have been "too many" seats and they... look it up, it's crazy), but the seats each have a "district" where the people in that district elect one specific representative. This is proportional representation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation
- jdmichal 11y agoAh, I see. I wasn't thinking about the district level. Thanks.
