The voters of the United States.
Well my teacher told me that it was determined by how many votes there was in the senate(:
This representation would be based upon population.
It already does. That's how the membership of the House of Representatives is determined.
The Great Compromise stated that representation in the House of Representatives should be determined through population. While the Senate would have an equal number of representatives from each state, the House of Representatives would include one representative for each 30,000 individuals in a state.
In the Senate, each state gets 2 representatives. In the House of Representatives, the number of representatives per state is based on the population. This is determined from the census every ten years.
In the United States, representation in the House is based on population, as determined by the Census. Which is what makes the Census such a big deal; with a fixed number of representatives, if one state loses population while another gains, that state may lose a representative to the other state!
In the Senate, each state gets 2 representatives. In the House of Representatives, the number of representatives per state is based on the population. This is determined from the census every ten years.
The house of Representatives. There are 435 total. The senate has two representatives from each state.
