	Jeffersonian Constitutional Reform
		The issue of apportionment first came to light in the late 1820’s as the Troup party of Georgia, led by George Troup, proposed turning away from the Federal Ratio as the state’s method of allocating representatives to the lower house of the state legislature.
		The power of the Troup party was based in large counties, but alas the Troupites were at a disadvantage in the senate where their largest county had no more voice than the smallest county in the state.
		A group of Troup members met in Hancock County in March of 1832 and prepared an address to be delivered to the people of Georgia concerning the issue of calling a convention to revise the state constitution.

		George’s natural style of photography is different than the “line-em up and shoot them” type of portrait studios found in department stores, malls and most professional photography studios.
		Rather than stiff poses and forced cheesy smiles, we let children play and capture their natural actions as they happen.
		We truly believe, that these are the treasured moments that should be captured for you and your future generations to remember for a lifetime.

		George Troup (1863-1941) worked as a draughtsman for New Zealand Government Railways from 1888, and promoted to Chief Draughtsman in 1892.
		The Trust's proposal for Maymorn would recognise the influence Troup had on station architecture along the route, and would be a fine accompaniment to steam-hauled trains dating from the same era.
