There are two parts of Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Representation in the Senate is independent of population; therefore all states get the same amount of representation (2 Senators per state). Representation in the House of Representatives is dependent on population, which means that there is a different amount of representatives representing each state.

The population of a state really affects the representation in Congress. In fact, change in represention all depends on the population. So, to answer your question, every time there is a big change in the population that is when the representation changes.
Delegates at the Constitutional Convention solved the problem of state representation in Congress through the Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise). This agreement established a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators. This compromise balanced the interests of both large and small states, allowing for fair representation while ensuring that all states had a voice in the legislative process.
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.
Representation should be determined by population. While the New Jersey plan proposed representation would be equal for all states. :)
congress is more representation rather than self governing
