The kicker is at the end, though... the math is wrong and becomes inconsistent when the population hits 8-10 million (which was about 1820, or so): ...an inconsistency exists in the mathematical formula when the nation's population is between eight million and ten million, as the final version of the proposed amendment specifies a minimum number of House seats greater than the maximum. As a result, the amendment would be unworkable and any number of representatives unconstitutional.
