No congress is larger because every state only has 2 senators but congress representatives are based on population, but there can only be a certain numbers of senators and congress can be a lot more since it's based on population.
The House of Representatives in Congress resulted in the appeasement of the large states. The number of representatives each state receives is determined by its population, which gives an advantage to larger states. This arrangement satisfies the large states and ensures their interests are represented in the legislature.
The states with the larger population.
In the House of Representatives. Each state has 2 senators in the Senate but a state's representation in the House depends on the size of the population.
There are 53 congress representatives from California. California is one of the larger states in the US, so it has the most representatives.
( How states would be represented in Congress )The large and small states conflicted during the writing of the constitution on the issue of representatives in Congress. The large states, having a larger population, wanted the number to bo based on state population. Knowing the smaller states would have fewer representatives, the smaller states wanted the number to be equal among all states.To solve this, the compromise was that House of Representatives, one branch of congress would be on population. The other, Senate, would be equal.
It solved the problem of representation in congress because the house of representatives was based on proportional representation (# of representatives based on population) which made the larger states happy and the Senate was based on equal representation (each state got two representatives) which made the small states happy. So each state was represented.
no it has less members than the house of representatives
The House of Representatives is favored by larger states because the number of representatives in the House for each state is decided by the states' population. This means that larger states have more representatives. Therefore, they will have more votes and a bigger influence.
The number of representatives that a state has is base on the population of the state. Each state has at least one representative. The number of representatives can change for each state as the population of the state changes but the number of representatives in the House is fixed at 435.
why does California have more representatives in the U.s. House of representatives than Delaware?
Some states have more representatives than others because representation in the United States Congress is based on population. Each state is allocated a certain number of representatives based on the size of its population. This is intended to ensure that larger states have more representation to balance out the influence of smaller states.
