Yesterday we discussed the Great Compromise, and how states would be represented equally in the Senate, but a system of proportional representation would be used in the House of Representatives. Today we will look at how the Census Bureau counts the population to ensure we have the right number of representatives from each state. Take a look at this Discovery Education video on the Census Bureau.
After watching the 4 minute film, students will receive a Census Bureau question sheet in class. To answer the questions, students will use population and demographics maps provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
