Answer:

The House of Representatives is made up of 435 elected members, divided among the 50 states in proportion to their total population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The House of Representatives has 435 members. Why does the Constitution allow only two senators from each state? In the Senate, every state is equally represented. In 1929 the Permanent Apportionment Act became law. It permanently set the maximum number of representatives at 435. In addition, the law determined a procedure for automatically reapportioning House seats after each census. (Reapportionment takes effect three years after the census.)
