Answer 1

In the United Stated the House of Representatives has 435 who are elected every 2 years, each State has a certain amount of voters that depends on the State's population. For example, California has 53 representatives because it's the State with the most population of the US. Also, within each State there are districts from where the representatives are elected. These districts are divided according to the population distribution and racial equity. Thus, the right answer is option D. from a district in a state

Answer 2

D. From a district in a state.

Congressional districts are specifically outlined areas. These boundaries can be redrawn as population shifts occur. In most states the legislature determines the boundaries of congressional districts. Cases have been brought to court about "gerrymandering" of districts, when a party in power tries to redraw district lines in ways that will favor their party's political future.

Those elected to serve in the House of Representatives serve two-year terms and stand for election every two years.
