What is the minimum number of representatives each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives?

One
Two
Three
Four

The correct answer is: One

The minimum number of representatives each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives is one. This is established by the U.S. Constitution, which mandates that every state, regardless of its population size, must be apportioned at least one representative. This ensures that even the smallest states have a voice in the House of Representatives. The total number of representatives in the House is based on state populations, determined by the decennial census, leading to states with larger populations having more representatives. However, to protect the representation of smaller or less populous states, the requirement of one representative guarantees that all states participate in the legislative process. This foundational aspect of the House serves to reinforce the principle of equal state representation despite the vast differences in population across the states.
