The House of Representatives of States, is the lower house of the United States Congress, while the upper house is the Senate. Each state obtains representation in the chamber proportional to its population, with the right to a minimum of one representative, who are elected by unitary majority scrutiny in most states and with non-partisan general primary with second majority in three states; The most populous state, California, has 53 representatives. The total number of representatives is currently set at 435 by the Reapportionment Act of 1929, although Congress retains the power to modify that number. Each representative is elected for a period of two years and may be re-elected.

<em>The Stamp Act</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and was a tax that Great Britain put on the colonists. Paper products such as newspapers and legal documents now had this tax on them, which sometimes contained a seal or a stamp which proved the purchaser paid the tax on the product.

The colonists were not happy with the Stamp Act and they felt as if it was unfair that they were being taxed. They had nobody to vouch for them in the British Parliament, which is called "taxation without representation." They started to get angry and boycott the products that contained the tax, even sometimes becoming violent and harming British merchants.

On the other hand, Great Britain deemed its taxing to be fair. The French and Indian War was expensive and since it was fought on American soil, they believed the colonists should pitch in. They also said the tax was unfair because they were using their own soldiers to protect the colonists.

The colonists still did not agree with this. They were very strongly against the Stamp Act and even being taxed in general. This would eventually start to hurt British merchants and businesses, which made Great Britain realize this tax was doing more harm than good. They then repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.
