The number of representatives from each state depends on its size.
I have this same question for a History question and I found the answer, so hope this helps :)
i don't get this
Is that for the Senate or the House of Representatives?
The number of congressmen for each state was based on population.
The US Constitution provides that each state be represented by two Senators. Each state has an equal vote. House districts are apportioned by population, and they range from 1 (Wyoming, Rhode Island) to 53 (California). Two.
1. The number of Congressmen is based on the population of the state, but each gets at least 1. The states of Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming each have 1.
No. each state has as many electoral collage members as they have congressmen
The number of electors equals the number of senators plus the number of congressmen (house of representatives members).
Each state has two Senate and we have 53 representatives.
There is no House of Commons in the United States Government. Our Congress, one of the three branches of our government, is divided into two separate chambers; The House of Representatives and The Senate. The Senate contains 100 senators, two from each state. The House of Representatives contains 435 congressmen. The number of congressmen from each state is based on the relative population of each state.
The reapportionment of the United States House of Representatives gives the number of congressmen in each state. The congressional districts are based on population. So states with more congressmen have larger populations.
Electoral votes are based on population. Each state gets the same number of electoral votes as the number of Congressmen in the House of Representatives. Idaho, with a small population has two Congressmen and hence, two electoral votes.
The population of the state
The people who represent us in the House of Representatives are given the title "Congressman." They are elected officials. Unlike the Senate where each state gets to elect 2 Senators, the number of Congressmen representing a state varies by the population of each state. The higher the state's population, the higher the number of Congressmen representing that state; however, no state can have less than 2 Congressmen.
Congressmen are allowed a small staff and how many each has depends on the seniority of the Congressmen. Generally, they have a Chief of Staff, Communications Director, Legislative Director, and several interns.
