Is it true that the senate is a smaller body than is the house?
True. The U.S. Senate is 100 people, two from each State. The House of Representatives is 435 people, elected proportionally from all the states. So the least populous States have only one Representative, while the most populous states have 35 or more. The House is "re-apportioned" by population based on the results of the Census, held every 10 years. States that gain people gain representatives, while States that lose people (or where the population remains about the same, since other states are becoming more populous) may lose representatives.
How are they selected in the house of representatives?
The number of representatives each state gets is based on the population of that state; for example while Utah has three reps, New York has 29 reps. This just goes to show you that larger, more populous states have more representatives in the House of Representatives.
Whose members are selected according to the state population?
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are selected according to state population. Each state is allocated a number of representatives based on its population as determined by the decennial census. This ensures that representation in the House reflects the population distribution across the states. Consequently, more populous states have a greater number of representatives compared to less populous ones.
