Question 2 • Civics and Government

The number of representatives from a state could increase if

Answer
A
the number of districts in the state increased.
B
the state population increased.
C
the number of senators increased.
D
the number of representatives from another state increased.

Explanation

Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned among states based mainly on their populations. If a state’s population increases enough relative to other states, it may receive more representatives. Increasing the number of districts alone does not create additional House seats for the state, and senators are counted separately.
