One of the original unratified Amenments to the constitution (that has no deadline for ratification btw) would have capped Congressional districts at 50,000 people per district, or around 6,660 seats in Congress.

t e c h n i c a l l y the amendment as written would have no effect because of a last minute change in the original wording. but they can just repeal the reapportionment act of 1929

As is, there is no cap on the number of House seats in the constitution! We’re using one stupid law from like 1912!

There would be nearly as many members of the House as there are people in the town I grew up in.

If this amendment were law, individual municipalities down to Elkhart, Indiana would have their own House district. Districts that small would also mean that you'd probably be able to reach your Representative much more easily, you might even know them personally.
