Answer 2

C). The Reapportionment Act of 1929.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States Congress primarily passed 'The Reapportionment Act of 1929' to set a method of equal proportions to allocate the given 435 seats in the house. It says(according to the census bureau's decision) that the house can involve a maximum of 435 representatives in total and redistributes the number of representatives received by each state and then, address their plans to the congress. Thus, the given quote is taken from 'the Reapportionment Act of 1929' which reveals the reallocation method of the 435 seats of the house instinctively.
