The House of Representatives needs to be expanded. The first house had one member for every 30,000 American citizens. Today, one member represents nearly 700,000 American citizens.
This clear dilution has played a big role in taking power out of the hands of individual citizens and into the hands of special interest groups. There is no reason why House expansion should not be proportional to population increase.
