What was the representation ratio set by the u. S. Constitution?

One representative to 30,000 people

Explanation:

The number of representatives is usually determined by the population of the area being represented which is usually a State. Each state has a right to at least one representative no matter the size of its population.

Delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention set the representation ratio of a State at one representative for every 40,000 people. George Washington suggested the ratio was changed to one representative for every 30,000 people and it was followed till date.

the progressive era is a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the united states that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.

the movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. by taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. they also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation. at the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.a third theme was building an efficiency movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "taylorism".
