Chapter 3 Content

This was the response I received during a recent seminar. A participant, sitting at the back of the room and acting as though he wished he were somewhere else, startled me with his response. But, he was right! The census data is only as reliable as the people who fill out the forms. Much has been written about the hesitancy of some to provide the information because of illiteracy, distrust, or apathy toward the process. What the census does reflect is trends over time.

The census was written into the United States Constitution of 1789 and stated: Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States “Representation and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers...” It came about because the Revolutionary War created a debt.

No longer receiving support from England, the Congress looked to the new states to share the debt and to provide revenue. In addition, it gave an accurate picture of the current population, which also determined representation in Congress. The initial census included “white” males and excluded Indians who were not taxed. Slaves were each counted as 3/5 of a person. Each succeeding census in the 1800s saw a 25% to 30% growth in the population of the United States.

The 3/5 slave designation was repealed in 1865 with the passage of the 14th Amendment. In 1913, the 16th Amendment authorized directed taxation of the individual, ending the census’ role in determining state taxation. The current census includes White and Black (African American, Negro); those identifying themselves as American Indian or Alaskan Native can list their tribe affiliation; Spanish/Hispanic/Latino can list Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or write in another group. Those of Asian or Southeast Asian heritage can also write in another race.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2000), the “concept of race reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. The race categories include both racial and national-origin factors.
