EP 14: The US Census from a Biblical and Constitutional Perspective

  • サマリー

  • Should the US Census include a question about whether you are a US Citizen or not? Many opinions abound regarding whether this question is legal, or, even whether it is moral. There are two perspectives in which we can consider the basis of a question regarding citizenry: the bible and the US Constitution.

    Proponents of including the question claimed it is necessary to gather an accurate statistical count, while opponents claimed it might suppress responses to the Decennial Census and therefore lead to an inaccurate count.

    In either case, one thing is clear. The reason we complete a Census in the USA is to determine tax apportionment (which means how much federal dollars communities receive for infrastructure and project initiatives) as well as to determine representation in the US House of Representatives. IF illegal immigrants are counted, this can affect both of these areas of purpose.
