the number of people in each legislative district must be roughly equal based on the total number of what?
2 answers:
Based on the principle of <u>one person, one vote</u>, each legislative district must have equal populations.
There are 435 congressional districts from which the respective legislative members are chosen for the US House of Representatives.
Each electoral district is supposed to have an equal population, as much as possible. This was reinstated as a law by the Supreme Court in the case of Reynolds vs. Sims (1964).
