The cube root law is an observation in political science that the number of members of a unicameral legislature, or the lower house of a bicameral legislature, is about the cube root of the population being represented. The rule was devised by Rein Taagepera in his 1972 paper "The size of national assemblies". This proposal was endorsed by the New York Times editorial board in 2018.

dbo:abstract
  • The cube root law is an observation in political science that the number of members of a unicameral legislature, or the lower house of a bicameral legislature, is about the cube root of the population being represented. The rule was devised by Rein Taagepera in his 1972 paper "The size of national assemblies". The law has led to a proposal to increase the size of the United States House of Representatives so that the number of representatives would be the cube root of the US population as calculated in the most recent census. The House of Representatives has had 435 members since the Reapportionment Act of 1929 was passed; if the US followed the cube root rule, there would be 693 members of the House of Representatives based on the population at the 2020 Census. This proposal was endorsed by the New York Times editorial board in 2018. (en)
  • 議會規模立方根法則（Cube root rule）是一個政治學理論，指一個國家議會理想代表人數為人口的立方根，此法則是1972年由Rein Taagepera所提出的。 此法則導致有人提出要擴大美國眾議院的規模，以便眾議會議員人數達到美國人口的立方根。自1929年重新分配法案通過以來，眾議院有435名議員。如果美國遵循立方根法則，眾議院將有693名成員。 (zh)
