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.

<em>D. Was Hitler's last chance to defeat the Allies.</em>

Explanation:

The Battle of the Bulge was a very important battle against the Allies and the Germans and was Hitler's last chance to defeat the Allies.

Before the Battle of the Bulge, Allies had recently defeated Germany before and had helped most of Europe against German rule. By then, the Allies thought that Germany had essentially given up and World War II was over, but Hitler had one last plan.

Hitler ended up going forward into the American troops, trying to break the front lines. The Allies were not ready for this and many ended up dying, which caused Germany to go forward. As Germany continued to advance, the American troops finally started pushing the troops back and eventually started getting the upper hand against German troops.

This is a very famous battle because of the small fights that occurred and the courage that was with the American troops. Many of the American troops had to hold out until backup arrived since they were not expecting this attack from Germany. Although Germany caught them by surprise and at first started winning against the Allies, they pushed them back and won the battle.

How did Mexican independence encourage the westward expansion of American citizens?
Vinvika [58]
D) The newly formed Mexican government built an extensive network of trails and roads, allowing for easier migration by American citizens.
Although it is true that the Spaniards defended their borders very well, the fact is that America never tried to advance by force during the colonial government of Spain. The way in which America expanded to the west was slow and gradual, and as the United States grew in population and land, the new nation of Mexico was also modernized and its territories were populated, enriching, which aroused interest of the Americans by the territories of Texas, California, New Mexico.
