The House of Representatives

Question 4 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

The number of representatives from a state could increase if

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

Explanation

Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned among states based mainly on population. If a state's population increases relative to other states, it could be allocated more representatives. The number of districts follows the number of House seats, so increasing districts by itself does not cause more representatives.
