Guadalupe Donovan · Answer 2

One representative to 30,000 people

Explanation:

The number of representatives is usually determined by the population of the area being represented which is usually a State. Each state has a right to at least one representative no matter the size of its population.

Delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention set the representation ratio of a State at one representative for every 40,000 people. George Washington suggested the ratio was changed to one representative for every 30,000 people and it was followed till date.
