Event Details

Article I of the US Constitution mandates that an “actual enumeration" be conducted every ten years to determine the number of people living in the United States. James Coll, adjunct professor of American and Constitutional History at Nassau Community College will analyze the history of the census, the provisions for the process and the way the counting is used after it is conducted, including the way states are carved into districts and how that process has both changed and remained the same over the history of our republic.
