The Union and Senate Equality

This lesson takes 9 minutes.

Objectives

Explain why entry order does not rank power
Use the Atlas

Lesson

Each state’s admission still means two Senate votes and House seats reapportioned by the census. Order of entry is history; Senate equality is present tense.

The Atlas holds all fifty states and six other jurisdictions. Entries unlock in the Grand Circuit.
