Answer:

The state of the chart that has the lowest number of congressional districts is Wyoming, which only has one congressional district.

Explanation:

A Congressional District is an electoral constituency representation in the United States House of Representatives, the lower house of the Congress. There are currently 435 districts, and each one represents approximately 710,000 people. Each US state has a number of districts, proportional to its demographic weight within the United States, with at least one district per state, number reviewed at each census.

As Wyoming has less than 600,000 inhabitants, it does not exceed the 710,000 population limit for each district. Therefore, this State has a single congressional district that includes its entire territory.

On the other hand, by having much larger populations, California has 53 congressional districts; New York has 45; and Texas has 36.

Can a law wipe out a treaty

KIM [24]

Answer: Yes. This is known as a treaty breach.

If a party has materially violated or breached its treaty obligations, the other parties may invoke this breach as grounds for temporarily suspending their obligations to that party under the treaty. A treaty breach does not automatically suspend or terminate treaty relations, however.
