CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. The number of representatives from each state, until after the first enumeration in 1790, was specified in the constitution. By the act of apportionment of 1792, the several states were allowed a representative for every 33,000 of the representative population; which gave an aggregate representation of 106. In 1802, the ratio of representation under the census of 1800, was again fixed at 33,000, making a house of 142 members. Under the census 1810, the ratio was 35,000, and the number of members 182. Under the census of 1820, the ratio was 40,000, and the number of members 213. After 1830, the ratio was made 47,700, with a house of 240. After the census of 1840, a ratio of 70,680 was adopted, making 223 members. After the census of 1850, the ratio was 93,000, giving an aggregate representation of 233 members, of which number, California had one; but by special enactment that state was allowed an additional member, making in all 234.
