HURRY!!!

What did the 1852 constitution change regarding representation in the Louisiana legislature?

The number of registered voters in a parish would govern representation.

The number of free persons in a parish would determine representation in both houses.

The total population in a parish would determine representation in each house.

Each parish in the state would be represented equally, regardless of population.
