The periodic reapportionment that the Framers of the Constitution thought about allows the government to periodically reallot US congressional seats according to changes in population. This is a very important process for the US Congress. If the Framers had not provided periodic reapportionment, as the population changed over time in different states, then Congress might have struggled keeping up with these changes. In other words, Congress would no longer represent the population of the country fairly.
