Shaff Plan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shaff Plan was a proposed amendment to the constitution of Iowa, proposed by David Shaff. The amendment would have called for the state senate to be apportioned by population, and the house to be apportioned by area. In December 1963, in a public referendum, the amendment was rejected. In February 1964, two reapportionment bills were passed. They would later be declared unconstitutional, with respect to the Supreme Court decision in Reynolds v. Sims.
