In the US, the House of Representatives are elected by the voters in their respective states. The number of Representatives a state may have is based on population. Some states have such a low level of population, they have only one member in the House of Representatives. As a consequence of the US Constitution, some low population states have two senators and one House member. This is quite unusual, and normally the reverse is true.
There are at least 24 countries around the world with a chamber of government called The House of Representatives.
In the house of representatives there are 435 members. Unlike the senate that has 2 members for each state in the house some states may only have 1 representative while others have 18 or more.
