Question 34 • FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

The number of representatives each state receives in the House of Representatives is determined by __________.

Answer

A

each state’s population based on census data; the more people that live in a state, the more representatives the state receives

B

a set rule that says each state gets only two representatives in the House, regardless of population

C

a set rule that says each state gets only three representatives in the House, regardless of population

D

the land mass of a state; the bigger the state’s size, the more representatives the state receives

Explanation

House seats are apportioned among states according to population, using data from the census. A state with more people generally receives more representatives; land area does not determine the number of seats, and states do not all receive the same number. The correct choice is “each state’s population based on census data.”
