You are a census officer in a newly democratic nation and you have been charged with using the census data from the table below to determine how 100 congressional seats should be divided among the 10 states of the union.

Being a fan of United States history, you are familiar with the many methods of apportionment applied to this problem to achieve fair representation in the US House of Representatives. You decide that apportionment (chapter 11, sections 1-4 in your textbook) is the best approach to solving this problem, but need to compare several methods and then determine which is actually fair.

1. Using the Hamilton method of apportionment, determine the number of seats each state should receive.
2. Using the numbers you just calculated from applying the Hamilton method, determine the average constituency for each state. Explain your decision making process for allocating the remaining seats.
3. Calculate the absolute and relative unfairness of this apportionment.
4. Explain how changes in state boundaries or populations could affect the balance of representation in this congress. Provide an example using the results above.
5. How and why could an Alabama Paradox occur?
6. Explain how applying the Huntington-Hill apportionment method helps to avoid an Alabama Paradox.
7. Based upon your experience in solving this problem, do you feel apportionment is the best way to achieve fair representation? Be sure to support your answer.
8. Suggest another strategy that could be applied to achieve fair representation either using apportionment methods or a method of your choosing.

Prior to completing your discussion, read Chapter 4 in your textbook, watch the Annie Lennox:  Why I Am an HIV/AIDS Activist video, and review any relevant Instructor Guidance.  For this discussion, reference the information in the “Introduction to the Miller Family” document.  Mike Maldonado lost his companion of 10 years to AIDS. After being tested, Mike learned that he is HIV positive.  Examine the biological basis for social, psychological, and physical problems related to his diagnosis. Comment specifically on how they pertain to Mike’s psychological state.  Based on their cultural and traditional beliefs, as well as their concerns for his health, comment on how Mike’s family members might react to the news about this diagnosis.  What are some common thoughts, beliefs, biases, and fears that might be held by Mike, his family, friends, and his community as a result of their sociocultural experiences?  Integrating what you have learned from the readings and video, what information would you want the Miller family to have in order to understand and be supportive of Mike at this time?
