Clare Kemp · Answer 1

Unlike the Senate where every state receives two representatives, House representation is based on state size. So, larger states would receive more representatives than small states.

Gilda · Answer 2

Large states would be happier, this is due to the fact that representation is based on population so if you have a large state with a higher population you will have more representatives than a small state with a low population.
