Question
why does california have the most seats in the house?
○ it is the state with the largest population.
○ it is the state with the largest land area.
○ its smallest districts are the most populated.
○ its major cities are the most populated.
Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are allocated based on population (via the census). California has the largest population among U.S. states, so it gets the most seats. The option about largest land area is incorrect (Alaska has more land). The other two options don't relate to the primary reason for seat allocation (which is total state population).
