Summary:

At 96 years proportional congressional representation is at 26.0% 1776 representation and below a 1776 quorum. The Civil War broke out.

At 153 years proportional congressional representation is at 15.4% 1776 representation. This era is a great depression sandwiched between two world wars.

At 225 years proportional congressional representation is at 5.1% 1776 representation. These years begin the “terrorist” era.

What disasters await further erosion of 1776 representation? The USA constitutional drive system is “running out of gas.”

The positive proactive answer is a new constitution returning proportional congressional representation to 100% 1776 level. This assures the next era is a beginning, like the beginning in 1776.
