This paper analyses the changes in the drafting on the first US apportionment bill. As well as the parliamentary stages it had to surmount in order to obtain Congressional approval. Madison's proposal was amended as it passed through the different stages of parliamentary proceedings. The finalized text was included in 1789 as Amendment I to the US Const. As such was presented for ratification within the Bill of Rights.
