A. The Assembly and the Senate.

Q. What is the number of members in each body, and their term of
office?

A. One hundred and twenty-eight members of the Assembly, elected
for one year. Thirty-two senators elected for two years. Art.
Ill., Const.

Q When, and how is the number of members of the Assembly
apportioned among the several counties?

A. Once in ten years by the Legislature immediately after taking
the state census, and as nearly as can be, according to
population, excluding aliens, but giving to every county except
Hamilton at least one member.

Q. When and how is the number of members of the Senate apportioned
in the State?

A. At the same time, by the Legislature; and as nearly as possible
according to population. A Senatorial district sometimes embraces
a portion of a county, sometimes a whole county; at other times
two or more counties; but no county can be divided, unless it can
be equitably entitled to two or more members.

The following apportionment was made in 1879:
