I personally believe that it is very difficult to change Congressional apportionment in the House. Many people have already attempted to solve this problem in the past, like Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton said that they could round the quotas, and any seats that were left over, would be given to the states with the largest remainders. On the other hand, Jefferson believed that Hamilton was wrong, and that they should pick a common divisor, divide it into each state’s population, and drop the fractional part of the resulting quotient. Jefferson’s method was a lot more popular at the time because essentially, as the divisor increases or decreases, approximately one state at a time, gains or loses a seat.

Because there have been multiple attempts at trying to change Congressional apportionment in the House, it has proved that this is not an easy task. One method that they could try currently, would be to take each state’s fraction of the total population, multiply it by the total number of seats to figure out each state’s quota, and then round the quotas to the nearest whole numbers. It is difficult to determine if this process would truly work, but it is always worth a try. However, based on past attempts to adjust Congressional apportionment in the House, it seems near impossible to ever make Congressional apportionment completely fair for every state.
