I used my usual technique for this kind of stuff - I basically read through every bullet point very slowly and carefully, and did not move on the the next point until I understood the one before it.  By going slowly and reading for understanding, I'm actually having a pretty easy time!  I'm working on it right now, so I'll keep everyone posted as to how my progress goes.  Also, when answering the questions, I'm finding it easier to consider each question as two separate ones (for the first part of Ch. 1) - one about how the situation is being fixed due to the proposal, and one about what the problem  before the proposal was.  Good luck!

I pretty much flew through this assignment.  I found it easy for me, but I can totally see where it would be hard for others, even for me, the amount of information was a lot, and I found it to be sort of disorganized.

I only had trouble with one question, and I was wondering if anyone else had trouble with this one:
How many "extra" House seats did the South get as a result of the 3/5 Rule in 1790? In 1800? In 1810? In 1820?
This question is from the chapter two section, and the graphs aren't helping much.  I can get the amounts for 1790 and 1820 easily, but the other years in between are really odd.  Also, by amount, does it mean percent, or does it mean an actual number?  Not many actual numbers are mentioned, and I'm not sure how you would come to one with the graph.  Any help?  Am I just graph-challenged?
