Single-member districts evolved in the House of Representatives primarily to ensure more direct representation of local constituencies. This system allows each elected representative to focus on the needs and interests of a specific geographic area, fostering accountability and enhancing voter engagement. Additionally, single-member districts help to simplify the electoral process and reduce the potential for vote dilution, which can occur in multi-member districts. The practice gained traction in the 19th century as states sought to create fairer and more manageable electoral systems.
