Albert Griffith · Answer 1

The members are distributed as per the states' population share in overall population.

Explanation:

The House of Representatives consists of the Congress members, and these members or seats are distributed by following a process known as the Congressional Apportionment. According to this approach, the seats of the House are distributed amongst the 50 states of the United States based on the individual states' share in the aggregate of the population.

As per the constitution, each state must get a minimum of one seat within the House of Representatives. The population data is obtained from the most recent census of the states.
