Here is a nice little write up of what was, originally, the fist two amendments:

Here is a key:
"In 1982, however, Gregory Watson, a university student doing research for a government class, ran across a description of this amendment and realized that it remained "alive" because it had included no language in it about a window of time in which it had to gain the needed number of state ratifications. Watson organized a successful effort to lobby various state legislatures, seeking their ratification of the amendment. As a result, the needed number was eventually reached and this amendment, first proposed in 1789, became the 27th (and most recent) amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1992."
The original first amendment of the Bill or Rights read:
"After the first enumeration required by the first article of the Constitution, there shall be one Representative for every thirty thousand, until the number shall amount to one hundred, after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall be not less than one hundred Representatives, nor less than one Representative for every forty thousand persons, until the number of Representatives shall amount to two hundred; after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall not be less than two hundred Representatives, nor more than one Representative for every fifty thousand persons."
This amendment, just like the 27th, was already ratified by Congress in 1789. What has to be done is to take back enough local state legislatures to ratify this one. 6620 representatives, or enough people to actually represent everyone: you, me, jocks, dorks, women, the mentally unstable gay trans communist furry next door -- everyone. The death of the elite political class in the House, like the founding fathers intended it.
