The Supreme Court explicitly held worldwide formulary apportionment as constitutional in separate cases in 1983 and 1994 (Barclays Bank PLC v. Franchise Tax Board ). [ 13 ] In 1985 the United Kingdom passed retaliatory legislation which would have overridden the UK-US tax treaty and denied significant UK tax benefits to corporations ...
Suppose a certain apportionment method gives two agents , some , seats respectively, and then these two agents form a coalition, and the method is re-activated. An apportionment method always encourages coalitions if a coalition of two parties receives at least a i + a j {\displaystyle a_{i}+a_{j}} seats (in other words, it is split-proof - a ...
The Knesset (Israel's unicameral legislature), are elected by party-list representation with apportionment by the D'Hondt method. [ a ] Had the Huntington–Hill method, rather than the D'Hondt method, been used to apportion seats following the elections to the 20th Knesset , held in 2015, the 120 seats in the 20th Knesset would have been ...

Certain quantities, like milk, can be divided in any proportion whatsoever; others, such as horses, cannot—only whole numbers ...

The states conducted the 2010 elections with districts apportioned according to the 2000 Census. The lack of accuracy does not justify the present cost and perceived intrusion of a new census before each biennial election.
