Each state's allotment of House seats is proportional to its relative population.
Based on the 2010 Census, there are 53 members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California. That is more than any other U.S. state.
The number of representatives in a state is based on its population.
because some states have more people
It depends on the number of people in the state. If there are more people, there will be more representatives.
The number of representives of a state is based on the states population. The higher the population the more reps the state gets. A smaller populated state would therefore have less reps then a state with a higher population.
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 house of representatives was based on the population of the state and the senate was 2 representatives per state no matter the population.
The Framers wanted all the states to be equal. The problem was that some states had more representatives than the other states, so they agreed that it was not equal for all the other states.
It depends. Representatives are based on state populations. So bigger states have more representatives.
The House of Representatives gives the larger populated states more influence over legislation. The number of representatives per state are chosen based on the states population, so a state like California has far more representatives (thus more influence) than a state like Kansas.
Each state in the United States is allocated two senators to ensure equal representation in the Senate. However, states with larger populations have more representatives in the House of Representatives. Illinois, being the sixth most populous state in the country, has more representatives in the House but still has only two senators, like every other state.
They determine it by the states population. The bigger the population, the more representatives they receive.
