Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Limitation of Representation in the General Assembly of Illinois: An Argument Against the Proposal Pending Before the Constitutional Convention
Under this plan the Senate is to be composed of 57 members, and of this number Cook County is permanently to have 19 members - one-third of the total. Cook County would thus permanently retain the same number of Senators that it now has (upon the basis of its population in 1900) but will have a lesser proportion of the total. Cook County now has 19 out of 51 Senators, a proportion of 37 per cent, whereas under the new plan she would permanently have 19 out of 57 Senators or 333; per cent. Under this plan each Senator from Cook County will represent a constituency of about people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
