Regarding the Census

      
on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart:

Guest- Former Governor of Washington , now the Secretary of Commerce, Gary Locke.

Gary Locke: The first census was in 1790. Thomas Jefferson was the head of the first  Census Bureau, and  some of the questions back in 1790 were written by James Madison himself.  The questions on the current census are very close to the questions on the first census.

Jon Stewart: what questions did they have that we don't have? 

Gary Locke: Are you the head of household? And, how many slaves do you have?
