If the population of a state is 4,702,644 how many representatives should that state have

History

Vladimir [108]3 years ago
3 0

4702644/747000 = 6.29 = 7 representatives should that state have because the US House of Representatives has one voting member for every 747,000 or so Americans.

This is  by far the highest population-to-representative ratio among a peer group of industrialized democracies, and the highest it’s been in U.S. history. And with the size of the House capped by law and the country’s population continually growing, the representation ratio likely will only get bigger.

In the century-plus since the number of House seats first reached its current total of 435 (excluding non voting delegates), the representation ratio has more than tripled – from one representative for every 209,447 people in 1910 to one for every 747,184 as of 2017.

<u>Explanation:</u>

English civil war is a governmental plottings between the Parliamentarians and royalists.  This war took place from the period of year 1642 to 1651 as three separate wars. In that, first one took place from 1642 to the year 1646 and the second the period between 1648-1649 followed by the third between 1649-1651.

During this war some supported the Royalist and stood by the side of the king because they refused to accept Puritans demands for radical reforms and they also hated their influence in the parliament and hence some supported the king and some supported puritans.  The war ended bringing victory to the Parliamentarian.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The Industrial Revolution saw the rise of factories in need of workers. Children were ideal employees because they could be paid less, were often of smaller stature so could attend to more minute tasks and were less likely to organize and strike against their pitiable working conditions.
