Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S. Constitution set our legislative branch as having two chambers. One chamber is the Senate and the other is the House of Representatives. The Senate has two representatives from each state. The House of Representatives has a number of representatives based on how many people are living in the state. This is done so that the states that have a very small population have an equal say while the states with a higher population have a little bit more representation.
