The federal government ensures that citizens are equally represented in state legislatures through the principle of "one person, one vote." This means that each person's vote carries equal weight, regardless of where they live or their demographic characteristics. The Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution to require that legislative districts be roughly equal in population, so that each person's vote has equal weight. This principle is enforced through the process of redistricting, which takes place every 10 years following the U.S. Census.
