Bill of Rights/Talk

The link to the "twelfth" was pointing to the twelfth amendment to the US constitution, not the twelfth of the proposed bill of rights. So it was not pointing to the amendment that the text was refering to. The same problem existed with the "eleventh", which was pointing to the 11th amendment, not the 27th. I changed that one to point to the 27th, becuase that is the amendment that the text was refering to. If someone wants to create an article, or if the article actually exists, that contains the text of the proposed amendment that never passed, then we can add a link to that in this article.

Here is the unratified amendment from the first 12 bill of rights: "After the first enumeration required by the first Article of the Constitution, there shall be one Representative for every thirty thousand, until the number shall amount to one hundred, after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall be not less than one hundred Representatives, nor less than one Representative for every forty thousand persons, until the number of Representatives shall amount to two hundred; after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall not be less than two hundred Representatives, nor more than one Representative for every fifty thousand persons. "

Ah, I see. I'll create said article, in that case. -BD
