I understand it for the gist part that the cap the senators at like 435 but my questions really are what’s the purpose of them saying that it’s permanent it’s not constitutional so it could be changed why is no one ever tried to change that and why is it based off of the 1910 census but it’s permanent I don’t understand what the the benefit of the law would even be. but my question really lies in the strictness of the wording the relationship to the census.

Not senators. Representatives. The law capped the number of reps in the house at 435. Prior to the law passing , representatives would be reappropriated based on census results and the number was fixed. I’d this law wasn’t passed we would current have around double the number of seats in the House of Representatives
