Apportioning a Federal Republic

In Nene Pimentel’s proposed Federal Republic of the Philippines, 12 states would comprise the republic
and 6 senators will represent each of the federal state. The table below shows the population of each
federal state.

Solve the following:

a. What is the standard divisor for an appointment of the 72 senators?

b. Find the standard quota

c. Use the Hamilton Plan and Jefferson Plan to appoint 72 senators
