Question

in the house of representatives, how is the number of representatives from each state determined?

a. by the number of electoral districts in the state

b. by the population of the state

c. by the geographical size of the state

d. by the amount of taxes collected by the state

Explanation:

In the US House of Representatives, the number of representatives per state is determined by the state's population (as per the Constitution and reapportionment based on census data). Electoral districts are related to representing populations, not the determinant of the number of reps. Geographical size and tax revenue don't determine House representation.

Answer:

B. by the population of the state
