Isn't the Senate supposed to counter balance the House in check? If so Than this was a ruse within a ruse, and woefully wrong with it's implementation. Stealing the fair representation away from all Americans. I also see the 435 limit an attempt to keep those "Darkies and G.D. Foreigners" out of our (White) Government. As by that time communities of color and national origin containing the populations needed would have able to send Congressmen/women to the house. This 435 limit effectively kept these folks, And their fair representation out of the house. Civil rights was left with no traction till the 60's. This makes the 435 limit a successful bald faced attempt to maintain the status quo of white privilege, and now the status quo of corporate power!
