Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.Using the Hamilton apportionment method, a state was given 9 seats even though its standard quota was 9.94.
What will be an ideal response?
Yes, the statement makes sense. The state received its minimum quota. Under the Hamilton apportionment method, there is no guarantee that a state will receive more than its minimum quota even if its fractional remainder is large. For example if there are no extra seats after each state has been given its minimum quota.
