A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

REAPPORTIONMENT OF THE STATE SENATE.
WHEREAS, the bi-cameral system of government has been duly
tried throughout the years by the various states of the United

the different areas of the State of California.
WHEREAS, the bi-cameral system of government respects the
rights of the minority.

of population rather than geography would drastically change the

was defeated by the people of the State of California.
