Dataset
I have
created a dataset of state minimum winning coalition
size for each state for every ten years of the Antebellum period by
using
primary sources to locate either the constitutionally mandated rules of
apportionment or the original legislation which apportioned
representation for
each state. I then combine this information with state-level
population
data drawn from each federal census. With this information I am
able to
estimate the minimum number of adult white males that would guarantee a
winning
coalition of representatives in that state’s legislature as a
share of the
state’s adult white male population.
