that "the house of representatives shall be composed of members chosen every
second year by the people of, the several states; and the electors of each
state, shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch of the state legislature."
3. The general qualifications of electors of the assembly, or most
numerous branch of the legislature, in the several state governments, are,
that they be of the age of twenty-one years and upwards, and free resident
citizens of the state in which they vote, and have paid taxes: several of
the state constitutions have prescribed the same or higher qualifications,
as to property, in the elected, than in the electors.
4. The constitution of the United States, however, requires no evidence

belief. He must be free from undue bias or dependence, by not holding any
office under the United States. Art. 1, s. 6, 2.
5. By the constitutions of the several states, the most numerous branch
of the legislature generally bears the name of the house of representatives.
Vide Story on Constitution of the United States, chap. 9 1 Kent's Com. 228.

Sec. 1. That from and after the third day of March, one thousand eight
hundred and forty-three, the house of representatives shall be composed of
members elected agreeably to a ratio of one representative for every seventy
thousand six hundred and eighty persons in each state, and of one additional
representative for each state having a fraction greater than one moiety of
the said ratio, computed according to the rule prescribed by the
constitution of the United States; that is to say: within the state of

representative.

several states, the reader is referred to the names of the states in this

MISREPRESENTATION
(bouvier) | MISREPRESENTATION, contracts. The statement made by a party to a contract,
that a thing relating to it is in fact in a particular way, when he knows it
is not so.
2. The misrepresentation must be both false and fraudulent, in order to
make the party making it, responsible to the other for damages. 3 Com. R.
413; 10 Mass. R. 197; 1 Rep. Const. Court, 328, 475, Yelv. 21 a, note l;
Peake's Cas. 115; 3 Campb. 154; Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 10, s. 1. And see
Representation. It is not every misrepresentation which will make a party
liable; when a mere misstatement of a fact has been erroneously made,
without fraud, in a casual, improvident communication, respecting a matter
which the person to whom the communication was made, and who had an interest
in it, should not have taken upon trust, but is bound to inquire himself,
and had the means of ascertaining the truth, there would be no
responsibility; 5 Maule & Selw. 380; 1 Chit. Pr. 836; 1 Sim. R. 13, 63; and
when the informant was under no legal pledge or obligation as to the precise
accuracy and correctness of his statement, the other party can maintain no
action for the consequences of that statement, upon which it was his
indiscretion to place reliance. 12 East, 638; see also, 2 Cox, R. 134; 13
Ves. 133; 3 Bos. & Pull. 370; 2 East, 103; 3 T. R, 56, 61; 3 Bulstr. 93; 6

PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
(bouvier) | PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES. These words are construed to mean the executors or
administrators of the person deceased. 6 Mad. R. 159; 2 Mad. R. 155; 5 Ves.
402; 1 Madd. Ch. 108.
|
REPRESENTATION
(bouvier) | REPRESENTATION, insurances. A representation is a collateral statement,
either by writing not inserted in the policy, or by parol, of such facts or
circumstances relative to the proposed adventure, as are necessary to be
communicated to the underwriters, to enable them to form a just estimate of
the risk.
2. A representation, like a warranty, may be either affirmative, as
where the insured avers the existence of some fact or circumstance which may
affect the risk; or promissory, as where he engages the performance of,
something executory.
3. There is a material difference between a representation and a
warranty.
4. A warranty, being a condition upon which the contract is to take
effect, is always a part of the written policy, and must appear on the face
of it. Marsh. Ins. c. 9, Sec. 2. Whereas a representation is only a matter
of collateral information or intelligence on the subject of the voyage
insured, and makes no part of the policy. A warranty being in the nature of
a condition precedent, must be strictly and literally complied with; but it
is sufficient if the representation be true in substance, whether a warranty
be material to the risk or not, the insured stakes his claim of indemnity
upon the precise truth of it, if it be affirmative, or upon the exact
performance of it, if executory; but it is sufficient if a representation be
made without fraud, and be not false in any material point, or if it be
substantially, though not literally, fulfilled. A false warranty avoids the
policy, as being a breach of the condition upon which the contract is to
take effect; and the insurer is not liable for any loss though it do not
happen in consequence of the breach of the warranty; a false representation
is no breach of the contract, but if material, avoids the policy on the
ground of fraud, or at least because the insurer has been misled by it.
