About this text

This clause set the size of the first House of Representatives before any census existed. The listed numbers add up to sixty five seats, from ten for Virginia down to one for Delaware. The spelling chuse for choose is the original and runs through the whole document. The first census of 1790 then fixed new numbers, and the House has been reapportioned every ten years since.
