Constitutional Mandate Sample Clauses

Constitutional Mandate. The decennial census is basic to our democracy. The demand for an accurate national census can be traced back to the creation of our country. The U.S. Constitution, adopted in 1787, provides for a national census in Article I, Section 2: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers . . . the actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by law direct.” Initially, the census was created in order to help answer just two questions: 1) How many members of the House of Representatives should each state elect?; and 2) How much should each state contribute to paying off the debts from the Revolutionary War? Today, the census not only provides an accurate count of how many of residents there are and where they are in the country, but also helps to fuel the American economy. From high-tech manufacturing to agriculture; to the construction trades to government efficiency, census-driven data are essential to making good decisions about designing intelligent public policy and competing in a global economy. People from all walks of life use census data to rescue disaster victims, advocate for causes, prevent diseases, research markets, locate pools of skilled workers, and much more.
