Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the proposed changes to the 10th United States Census, scheduled for 1880. The author begins with a historical overview of the process, created by the 23rd act of 1850, acknowledging its imperfections and need for revision. Several points are raised, including the proposed change in who would lead the census, the appointment of enumerators, formation of subdivisions, compensation for enumerators, the amount of time enumerators would have to complete their tasks, and what information enumerators would be seeking from households, with specific notes on the differences between de jure and de facto methods of data collection. As the census-taking process has great potential impact on the lives of individual citizens as well as the apportionment of resources, and the results are used to inform political decisions, the insights offered in this book are of critical importance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332067237_0
