Answer: States with the largest populations <u>send more representatives to the House.</u>
The number of Representatives is determined in proportion to each state's population, as reported by the US Census. There are 435 members in the House of Representatives in Congress. That number has been set at that level since 1929. The number of representatives per state is adjusted after each census, which is conducted every 10 years. The US Constitution (Article 1, Section 2), says: "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union."
Additional detail:
The number of electoral votes each state has in the Electoral College (for presidential elections) is also determined by the federal census. Electoral College votes are aligned with the size of a state's overall Congressional representation, so the number of electoral votes each state gets (of the 538 total electoral votes) is recalculated every ten years, based on the most recent US Census data.
The best answer is, States with the largest populations send more representatives to the House.
Members elected to the House of Representatives, which is part of the U.S. Congress, are determined by their state and by the number of constituents in that state. Each state must have at least one elected member to the House of Representatives but can have much more like California, who sends 53 representatives to the nation's capital. This representative process differs from those elected to the Senate, the other half of the U.S. Congress, where each state elects two representatives regardless of population size.
The anti Imperialism league took a dim view of imperialism which meant they opposed the expansion b/c they believed imperialism violated the credo of Republicanism,especially the need for " consent of the governed."
