Note

  A proposal of the 1978 Constitutional Convention rewriting this section was not validly ratified.  Kahalekai v. Doi, 60 H. 324, 590 P.2d 543.  The revisor has deleted the textual changes under the authority of Resolution No. 29 of the 1978 Constitutional Convention.

Case Notes

  Consideration of validity of apportionment of senate entails validity of apportionment of house, and legislature in dealing with former must be free to deal with latter.  384 U.S. 73, 83, upon review of 238 F. Supp. 468, 240 F. Supp. 724.
