Al Smith used to say that the NYS Legislature was "Constitutionally Republican".

The reason was that the NYS Constitution limited the number of each legislative chamber and had a provision that each county had to have at least one member in each chamber.

This meant that NYC legislators represented far more residents than those outside NYC.
