Passed

C. Membership in the House needed to be capped to prevent an excessive number of members.

Reapportionment Act of 1929 was passed in order to put in place a permanent method for dividing a constant 435 in the US house of representative in accordance with census. According to the constitutions, each state was supposed to have one representative in the house of representative.
