Minority rule gerrymander regimes — since the DARK AGE in the 1200s — formation of the English House of Commons — 700 plus years.
P.R. — around since the 1840s — 1840s in *modern* regimes — about 170 years.
BASIC P.R. — 3rd grade math with some algebra math
PM = TM X PV / TV
Solve for P and T adjectives and M and V nouns and get a Democracy Prize.
