Look up “Article the First.” At this point in our country, we should have over 6,000 Representatives, but in the early part of the 20th Century, they just decided to arbitrarily stop adding Representatives during Census years, pegging the number at 435.

I would agree with your assertion if we had equal representation, but at this point, our system of government is so far stretched beyond the vision of the Founders that they’d be wondering what happened to us over these 230+ years.

What has that got to do with the fact the FOUNDERS did not want a party system
