Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.Using the Hamilton apportionment method, a state was given 17 seats even though its standard quota was 15.98.

What will be an ideal response?


No, the statement does not make sense. This would be a violation of the quota criterion, and the Hamilton apportionment method cannot violate the quota criterion.
