Question 6 • Government

The size of the congressional districts is based on population. Therefore,

Answer
A
the amount of territory in each district is equal to the other districts.
B
the higher the population, the more state senators in each district.
C
the number of people in each district is equal to the other districts.
D
the higher the population, the more representatives in each district.

Explanation

Congressional districts are drawn so that each has about the same population, giving each district roughly equal representation in the House. So the number of people in each district is equal to the number in other districts. More populous states receive more representatives, but an individual district does not have more representatives because it has more people.
