Districts
Each state is divided into districts for representation in the House of Representatives. The number of representatives a state has is based on its population size, with each district representing a roughly equal number of people.
The number of Representatives from each state is based on the population of that 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 size of that state's supreme court.
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.
By population, bigger the population the more representatives a state will have in the lower house (House of Representatives)
It is based on population. A census is done every 10 years to determine the population. Then, the state is divided into numbered districts. The Representatives are then elected by the people in each district.
no, every state gets equal represantation in Senate, 2 senators per state. Representation in the House of Representatives is based on population. bigger states have more representatives. the only way for a small state to lose representation would be in the House of Representatives and there would have to be no one living in the state, which is basically impossible.
